- Title:
- File 18/143 I (D 87) Service of Iraqi judicial documents in Kuwait
- Scope & Content:
- The papers are mainly dated April 1930 - September 1931, with a few papers at the rear of the file dated January-February 1935. The file relates to the custom of serving summonses and other legal documents emanating from the Iraq courts on individuals residing in Kuwait (whether Iraqi subjects or Kuwaitis having property in Iraq). The papers are mainly in the form of correspondence between the Political Agent, Kuwait [Lieutenant Colonel Harold Richard Patrick Dickson], who reports the views of the Sheikh of Kuwait [Sheikh Ahmad al-Jabir Al Sabah], the Secretariat of the High Commissioner for Iraq, which reports the views of the Government of Iraq, and the office of the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf. The file also includes discussion of a request by the Sheikh of Kuwait for the creation of a reciprocal arrangement for the service of judicial documents between the two states, and the issue of the charging by Kuwait of a fee of five rupees for the service of such documents. Dickson states in a letter, which raises the whole issue, to the Political Resident dated 25 April 1930 that the 'Iraq Nationalist party appears bent on slowly but surely working for the gradual incorporation of Kuwait into Iraq, or at least bringing Kuwait under Iraq's influence'. Includes two letters in Arabic from the Sheikh of Kuwait.
