Bank Of Communications Fails In Application
Mr Justice J. R. Gregg, Acting Senior Puisne Judge, in a judgment delivered in the Supreme Court this morning, dismissed with costs an application by the Bank of Communications, of Prince's Building, to set aside a writ on the ground that the Court had no jurisdiction to entertain the action because it impleaded on the sovereign state of China.
His Lordship said: "It has never been laid down as an absolute rule of law that, under no circumstances may a foreign sovereign state be impleaded; and, having regard to the judgments in the "Cristina" case, there is, in my opinion, strong ground for holding that, in cases like the present, evidenco of dedication to public uses must be adduced. In this case there is no such evidence; and on this ground, I dismiss the present application.”
