The US Supreme Court has sent a painting in the Madrid Madrid Madrid Madrid Madrid Madrid Madrid Madrid Madrid Madrid, who is owned by a new Statute of California after changing the law of lawsuit. The New Statutory applies the lawsuit of art stolen during the Holocaust.
Supreme CourtIt was given on March 10, the demand for the Plaintiffs, the High Court of California’s High Circuit Application of California, applying Spanish law, California. At this basis, the resource court concluded the work issue of the claim, the painting of the streets of Camille Pissarro Paris Rue San Honoré, afternoon, effect rain (1897) has been the Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection Foundation (TBC). The actions of the Supreme Court now hugs this trial and takes into account the law of California.
In the case of California, Lilly Cassirer Neubauer argued that the lawsuit of California should be applied, which a thief cannot pass the title to the subsequent owner: heirs would own the painting. The ninth circuit has said that it was required to choose the rules of California law to apply the case in the case of Spain. TBC had no real knowledge of the robbery when he bought paint, and he had public work in public three years before the presentation of good faith, owned by TBC.
In response to the verdition, California gave a new Statute last year, which promises to apply the law of California, in claims of art or personal property as a result of holocaust or political harassment. The statute is not applied to steal art claims that have begun after his performance, but at the same time the right to appeal.
The viability of the statute is not tested, and it seems likely to challenge in the coming procedures. Thaddeus Stauber, a TBC lawyer tells Art diary: The Supreme Court did not direct the ninth circuit as the new California laws asked. The Statute is added to “it cannot be applied due to constitutional [Second World War-]Claims in the way, among other things, when the German government compensated Mrs. Neubauer, the amount he demanded, “and” has already found “for the” suit “found” for TBC.
