- Title:
- Coll 6/93(1) 'SYRIA: Mixed Courts in Syria (Notes to and from the Syrian Government)'
- Scope & Content:
-
This file relates to the abolition of the mixed courts system that existed under the French Mandate in Syria and Lebanon (a system whereby cases concerning the rights and properties of foreigners were processed by courts usually consisting of two French judges and one local judge, with the proceedings being conducted in French).
The file's principal correspondents are the following: His Majesty's Ambassador in Washington (Archibald Clark Kerr, referred to in the correspondence as Lord Inverchapel); the Secretary of State for India (Frederick William Pethick-Lawrence); the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs; officials of the Foreign Office, the Dominions Office, and the British Legation at Damascus.
In addition to correspondence, the file includes copies of translations of two decrees passed by the Lebanese Government. The first, dated 31 December 1946, confirms the abolition of the mixed courts system and the second, dated 9 January 1947, lays out changes to the structure of the country's courts and judiciary.
The file includes a divider which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence (folio 2).
