TRIBUNAL OF ALEXANDRIA. (Judgment on Appeal). 22 JANUARY 1918. MM. Saleh Hakki Bey (Pres.); Khalil Kamal Bey, Ismail El Hakim Bey (JJ.). EL SHEIKH ISHAK MOHAMMED v. ABDEL WAHHAB AHMED EL NAGGAR AND OTHERS. Jurisdiction of Native Tribunals, Restrictions on—Wakf — Determination of beneficiaries — Decision of Mehkemeh —Res Judicata. (Art. 16, Organic Decree.) The Native Tribunals have jurisdiction to determine the persons entitled as beneficiaries under a wakf, as such disputes do not relate to the constitution of the wakf. (1) But, as under the Organic Law of the Mehkemehs (see Arts. 27 and 137) these courts are equally empowered to try such disputes, a final decision of a Mehkemeh, recognizing certain persons as beneficiaries under a wakf, has, as regards this point, the force of res judicata before the Native Tribunals.
