DUTCH QUEEN LOSES
ACTION.
SUCCESSION DUTY.
THROCOR EXTER'S ·ADENCY.]
LONDON, June 29th.
An unusual case was heard in the Chancery Division to-day when the Queen of Holland figured as a party in an application concern- ing taxes, and judgment went against Her Majesty.
The action was by the Queen of Holland against Drukker and others, and one of the defendants moved that the Court should strike out the statement of claim as it did not disclose a reasonable cousa of action.
The applicant was a Dutchman and the action referred to a claim to collect the Dutch Succession Duty in Great Britain.
Counsel argued that it was an elementary rule of law that one country could not enforce another's, revenue laws, or collect taxes for it..
Counsel for the Queen submitted that that principle applied to an- other country's pedal law.
Mr. Justice Tomlin laid down that there was a rule at least 200 years old, by which Great Britain could not collect foreign taxes for a foreign sovereign.
He ordered the claim to be struck out and the action was dismissed with costs. **
