sir,
POREIGN OFFICE,
8.V.1.
14th October, 1933.
I am directed by Secretary Sir John Simon to
invite reference to the Colonial office letter No. 92685/32
of the 5th December 1938 enclosing copy of a despatch from
the officer Administering the Government of Hong Kong
conveying an explanation by the Registrar of the Supreme
Court there that certain documents issued by the High
Court of Justice at Tehran for service upon a person
named Agha Mohamed Ali could not be served on him unless
accompanied by a letter of request from the Persian court
concerned.
*.
I am to enclose for the information of Secretary
Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister copy of a note which has now
been received from the Persian Chargé d'Affaires returning
the documents for service upon Agha Mohamed Ali and
explaining that it is not the practice of the Persian
Courts to issue formal letters of request where the service
of writs is desired.
3.
In view of the fact that the service of process
from foreign tribunals is constantly effected in this
country through the High Court of Justice without insisting
upon the production of a letter of request for service,
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial office.
