Practice and Procedure

IN THE MATTER OF FOUAD AL ZAYAT & ORS (2008)

PUBLISHED March 7, 2008
SHARE

An investigating judge of the Judicial Organisation First Branch of Investigation of Iran had authority to issue a letter of request seeking the assistance of the United Kingdom in order to secure the restraint of the applicant's assets within the UK. The fact that the external request came from the Military Branch of the Judicial Organisation was unimportant as no military offence was involved and the case would come before the Iranian court as an ordinary criminal court rather than a military court.
