Definition of West Rand Central Gold Mining Co., Ltd. V. R.
([1905] 2 K. B. 391). Prior to the outbreak of the war between Great Britain and the South African Republic, gold belonging to the Company was wrongfully seized by the Republic. Soon afterwards war broke out and the Republic was conquered and its territory annexed by the Crown. The Company claimed by petition of right that in consequence the obligations of the Republic with respect to the gold had devolved on the Crown.
Held (1) that the Sovereign of a conquering State was not liable for the obligations of the conquered, in the absence of stipulation or convention ; (2) International law formed part of the law of England to the extent that it had received the common consent of civilised nations. Such rules of international law must be shown to have been actually accepted as binding between nations by satisfactory evidence of international agreement or usage ; (3) That acts of State are not cognisable by the English Courts
