Honorable President of the Jewish Community
Since the community is demanding that we pay the rent for the plot sequence 220 located
in the Al-Kulasir neighborhood, which belongs to the endowments of Meir Elias Hospital, in the amount of (1074) dinars
considering that the annual rent is (192) dinars excluding the building, and since we have managed
and the rent is exorbitant, therefore we present to your position that we are ready to pay an amount of
(700) dinars for the accumulated rent, hoping to obtain approval to reduce the rent
annually to the amount of (120) dinars per year, and please accept our highest respect

Plaintiff - President of the Jewish Community in Baghdad in his official capacity - his attorney Ibrahim Khazzam
The two defendants - 1- Mr. Ahmed Al-Salloum

The Decision
The plaintiff's attorney claimed in the statement of claim dated 5 / 4 / 1955 that the two defendants had
leased the plot sequence (330) located in the Al-Koula Thalthi district, which is part of the Meir Elias Hospital endowments
for a period of thirty years starting from 13 / 3 / 1948 until 12 / 3 / 1978 for a total rent of
(5760) dinars, and they pledged to pay it in annual installments, the amount of each installment being (192) one hundred and ninety-two
dinars to be paid on the first day of each year. He also stated that the two defendants had pledged to construct
buildings on the mentioned plot, provided that the cost is not less than the amount of (3430) dinars, and there was due from
the two defendants until the date of 13 / 3 / 1955 an amount of (1072) one thousand and seventy-two dinars
from the rent, and he requested judgment for the mentioned amount and to charge the two defendants the costs, attorney fees,
pleadings, and legal interest.
The two defendants did not attend despite being notified, so it was decided upon request to conduct the trial against them in absentia and publicly.
The plaintiff's attorney was tasked with proof, so he presented a certified copy of the contract concluded between the two parties, certified
by the Notary Public of North Baghdad under number 11166 and date 13 / 2 / 1955, which included the
two defendants leasing the vacant plot sequence 330 Koula for a period of thirty years for a total of
(5760) dinars, and the conditions included that the tenant must pay the rent in installments numbering
thirty installments, each installment in the amount of (192) dinars, with other conditions related to construction. He also presented a letter
addressed to the two defendants from his power of attorney demanding the accumulated rents amounting to
(880) dinars and added that the claimed amount consists of this amount and the addition of the rent
for the sixth year which became due after the date of the letter coinciding with 16 / 2 / 1955. Accordingly, and based
on the contract concluded between the two parties on 13 / 3 / 1948 and the letter dated 16 / 2 / 1955,
it was decided to rule by obligating the two defendants to pay the plaintiff in his official capacity the claimed amount of
(1072) one thousand and seventy-two dinars and charging them the trial costs and (6/750) dinars attorney
fees for one session. The judgment was issued in absentia, subject to objection, appeal, and cassation, and was announced publicly.
