Which of the following cases is related to the Prize Courts?
Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The Zamora (1916) was an appeal from a prize court concerning requisition of neutral cargo. The Privy Council explained that a prize court administers international law and cannot simply take the executive's orders as binding law. The Lotus case concerns international criminal jurisdiction; Re Castioni and Babu Ram Saxena concern extradition questions rather than the prize-court ruling asked.
