However, the Imperial Consular Court of Shanghai allowed the counterclaim in 1907, over the protest of the Russian Government, reversing on this point the trial court.

It might be pointed out here that even with respect to counterclaims arising out of the same transaction, there is a difference of opinion as to whether an affirmative judgment can be entered on a counterclaim against a plaintiff foreign state; the prevalent opinion seems to be opposed to such a possibility.

13 See the following language of Lord Stemdale, M.R., in Duff Development Company v. Kelantan Government, L. R. [1923, I] Ch. Div. 385, 410: “I have no sympathy with sovereign States who grant concessions and enter into litigation in respect of commercial transactions, and when they fail say: ‘ It injures our sovereign dignity that we should pay the costs we have been ordered to pay of litigation which we have promoted.’ I should have thought it was more consistent with sovereign dignity to pay.”
