The Israeli Special Council
Case No. 3
Date of Decision 1/1/⟦illegible⟧
Based on the judicial decision issued by His Excellency the Minister of Justice on the 11th day of February
year 946 regarding the referral of the lawsuit of Heskel Murad Shatoub and his fiancée Nazima Daoud Balas to the Special Council
for consideration - the aforementioned Special Council convened under the chairmanship of Rabbi Raphael Isaac Hayyim, the eldest member
by age, and with the membership of Rabbi Yehoshua Heskel Moshe, Rabbi Daoud Ezra Safi, Rabbi Daoud Shaul,
and Rabbi Yosef Hayyim Moallem Ezra, as stated in the letter of His Eminence the President of the Israeli Community in Baghdad dated
August 2, 1946, No. 8935, which included the letter of His Excellency the Minister of Justice dated 7/28/46
and dated A/45/232, at the building of the Israeli Religious Court in Baghdad. After reviewing the two files
numbered 705/91 of the Israeli Religious Court in Baghdad and 403/361 of the Spiritual Court of Cassation
of the Jews regarding the aforementioned lawsuit, and the issued judicial decisions and other documents - it
has become clear to this Council that His Excellency the Minister of Justice, in letter No. A/45/16 dated 5/16/945
addressed to the President of the Israeli Community in Baghdad, had sent a copy of the decision of the Legal Codification Bureau dated
5/14/945, which stated: (This case must be considered within the scope of right and interest, especially since the report
under discussion does not inspire confidence and its content cannot be believed, as the aforementioned report states:
"Miss Nazima Daoud Balas must remain here in the Kingdom for medical treatment and it is impossible for her
to go to another kingdom because that would result in great danger to her health. It is necessary for her
to marry, and after that she must remain here in the Kingdom for medical treatment, and thus her health will become
good.") And the aforementioned Bureau sees (that such a report cannot be considered in any way a medical report
upon which the court can base its ruling because it was devoid of a statement of the disease, its severity, the method of
its treatment, and the danger that would befall the patient as a result of leaving Palestine).
Upon examining file No. 705/91, it became clear to this Council that the Religious Court
on 6/18/45 - i.e., ⟦illegible⟧ after the letter from the Ministry of Justice referred to above - issued a judgment
in absentia against the fiancé Heskel Murad Shatoub, ordering him to pay an amount of fifteen dinars as monthly alimony to
his fiancée Nazima Daoud Balas. It appeared that the fiancée's attorney had submitted on the mentioned date - in addition
to the first medical report dated 1/3/45 - a medical report in the English language written in Jerusalem and dated
6/8/45, certified there by the Iraqi Consulate under No. 66 and dated 6/9/45,
this is its translation: (The girl Nazima Daoud Balas is suffering from rheumatism with heart dilation and liver enlargement.
Her stay here is necessary and she must remain in bed as there is danger to her heart if she walks and danger to her life
if she travels). The fiancé objected to the aforementioned judgment in absentia, but the Religious Court, as a result of the
ongoing proceedings, confirmed the aforementioned judgment in absentia on 11/5/45. Also, the Spiritual Court of Cassation issued
on 12/31/945 a decision confirming the judgment of the Religious Court, referring to its decision taken on 8/12/945
under No. 361 as stated in file No. 403/361, based on the medical report dated
8/8/⟦illegible⟧ stating that the fiancée is suffering from rheumatism, etc...

Second - The attorney fees agreed upon between the two parties, which the Second Party is entitled to for the aforementioned lawsuit, shall be in proportion to
the amounts that will appear in the papers and ledgers that the deceased Saleh entered into his liability as a result of the accounting audits
