HC Deb 18 February 1926 vol 191 c2130W
Mr. ERSKINE

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, as claims made by German civilians against British officers in the occupied areas anent damage, etc., have to be heard in German Courts, there is any means of appeal to a British tribunal?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON - EVANS

Under Ordinance No. 2 of the Inter-Allied Rhineland Commission, Article 19, a member of His Majesty's Forces in the occupied areas who is a party to a civil action in a German Court, has a right of appeal to the High Commission Court should he consider that he has suffered injury from a miscarriage of justice on the part of the German Court.
