As for regulations outside the body of laws, I do not see that the requirement for states to approve their amendment always prevents European rights in Egypt. Rather, my opinion is that it is a difficult means and must be abolished as soon as another administration can be arranged that includes conformity of these regulations to the wishes of those to whom they apply. Furthermore, the current system has not led to confusion in legislation specific to one person or a certain group of nations in enacting regulations, such as regulations on adultery or tax regulations. Rather, it leads to the prevention of all legislation in the desired manner of any kind.

Then, regarding the formation of these courts, firstly, I have established the principle of the non-removal of judges, which ensures the independence of the courts, in my last annual report (page 12).

Secondly, if this decision is foreign and different, and Egyptian laws are taken from the laws of Latin peoples, then my opinion is that judges must be dismissed. And the necessity of dissolution, especially for Latin peoples. However, I would not be surprised if the current system continued forever after the concluding states believed they had the right to equality in electing judges from their respective subjects. I do not at all approve of the system of appointing judges, which has been touched upon by observers. Not long ago, the government had no say in the selection of judges. I do not see a reason for most members of the Court of Appeal to be subjects of the system's states, as in my opinion, it is necessary to separate and distinguish between political interests and the administration of justice.

I may have explained in the foregoing that there is no room for the fear of those who imagine that the legislative system I seek, because it is better than the existing system, necessitates the abolition of different courts (and) consular courts.

By law, all subjects of European states or residents of the country included therein are subject to all criminal cases brought against them, with rare exceptions. As for the judgments of their consulates, and until judgment is rendered, the laws of their countries apply. If the adoption of a project like mine is decided upon and it is neglected, these consular courts will remain as they are until the European Advisory Council makes its decision and the British and Egyptian governments approve it. There is no doubt that the first duty of the Egyptian government will then be to enact this law.

(1) This report excludes bankruptcy cases, as well as cases where foreigners who are not subjects of the Egyptian government are involved with their brethren. I have encountered the Court of Appeal differing on this, as all these cases are heard in the surrounding courts.
