It is evident from the foregoing that it is impossible to implement these much-needed reforms until the two submitted projects are agreed upon by the powers. I do not mean by this that eliminating the defects that are now so widely complained of will solve the entire problem and provide the decisive remedies required, but I do believe that, in any case, they will lead to an improvement of the present situation. The revenues of the Mixed Courts have increased greatly, reaching £E 1,166,000, compared to £E 915,000 in 1911 and £E 859,000 in 1910. It is worth noting that these courts are not just courts in the usual sense, but they also draft contracts and keep land registries. The revenues from this source constitute the largest portion of their income, and, as is well known, they are not included in the revenues of courts in other countries, but rather are part of the usual financial revenues of the government. Registration and mortgage fees amounted to £E 917,000 in 1912, and judicial fees were only £E 249,000. Judicial expenses for these courts were estimated at £E 247,000 in the budget for 1913. Revenues from registration fees increased greatly last year due to the large number of contracts submitted for registration at the end of the year, so that they would have a fixed date before the expiry of the date for the implementation of the law on agricultural land, and to facilitate future borrowing, as the law does not apply to what occurred before its implementation. During the year, two counselors of the Mixed Court of Appeal resigned: Monsieur Antoine de Courzemex and Monsieur Casimir Bruner. The former had been a judge in the Mixed Courts since their establishment and was appointed a member of the Court of Appeal in 1866, then became its president. He served with long and excellent service in the Egyptian judiciary. He was succeeded by Monsieur Yala de Zoltan, a French judge in the Alexandria Court since 1900 and its president recently. Monsieur Casimir Bruner served for a long time in the Egyptian government and became president of the Cairo Court in 1885. After 21 years, he joined the Court of Appeal, where he earned the respect of his colleagues. He was succeeded by Monsieur Francis L'Eau, a French judge in the Cairo Court since 1907.
