'Palaf 1 should be less than that on ^isqam 1 , and in view of
the relative time before it is possible for the advance to
be repaid - i.e. at ^affal - I think the interest might well
be double. ^-f the interest charged at Kuwait comes to
about the same and if the Nakhudas can show no valid reason
why a higher rate should be charged, I think the rates
suggested by you viz. 15% for ♦Tisqam* and 7^% for •Salaf 1
would do very well, but if the Nakhudas prove they cannot
get advances at this rale perhaps it might be arranged to
charge lk% per mensem up to'guffal'on these advances, i.e.
on say 11 and 5 months which ^ould come to about 16^ and
7i%.
Is it proposed to h ve a reformed Salifah Court or
Mejlis to de^-l with disputes over accounts or will the
ordinary courts decide such cases. ?
