HOUSE OF LORDS, HIGHEST BRITISH COURT, REJECTS ARAB APPEAL
The House of Lords, sitting as the highest court in Britain, this week-end rejected an appeal of the Arab Bank of Jordan for recovery of 582,000 pounds ($1,600,000) on deposit in the Barclay’s Bank in the new city of Jerusalem where it is frozen according to Israeli law as a Palestine Arab refugee account.
The House of Lords dismissed the bank’s appeal from a decision of the lower Court of Appeal. The reasons for the action of the House will be made public at a later date. Barclay’s is a British bank.
