(Copy of the Preliminary Decision)
Whereas the Israeli Court of First Instance in Baghdad issued a judgment dated December 1, 924
and notification number 225 / 924, obliging the convicted Nuri Ephraim to pay 8/012
dinars to his wife Khatoun Sassoon Shalji for medical expenses and necessary living costs
for her for the period prior to the aforementioned judgment, and the said judgment was deposited with this department
and a seizure was placed on one-third of the salary of the aforementioned debtor. Since Article Fourteen
of the Israeli Community Law No. 77 of 1931 states the lack of jurisdiction of the
aforementioned court in hearing such a lawsuit and restricted its jurisdiction to hearing lawsuits of marriage,
dowry, divorce, separation, spousal maintenance, and the certification of wills only. Accordingly, it was decided
to annul the previous decision issued by this department on 4 / 7 / 926 and to lift
the seizure on the debtor's salary for this case only, and to return the amount paid by
the debtor's guarantor on this day and to notify the debtor's department of that. May 22, 932

A charitable association formed by a permit from the Ministry of Interior according to the Law of Association Formation
of the year 1922. Its basic statute, approved by the Ministry of Interior, states that its revenues
consist of fixed monthly subscriptions paid by each member in exchange for their membership in the association and from various
donations bestowed upon it by benefactors from time to time.
To collect subscription fees from those belonging to the association and to accept donations offered to the association
from benevolent people - money, food, or clothing - at different times, should the association
obtain a special permit for that according to the Lotteries and Public Subscriptions Law No. 42 of the year
934, or does it not require such a permit considering that collecting subscription fees and accepting individual
donations offered by persons of their own volition do not fall under the concept of public subscription
mentioned in the aforementioned Lotteries and Public Subscriptions Law?
