This site provides access to full text law reports of the United States Court of Restitution Appeals, digitised and made freely available online by Harvard Law School Library. During World War Two the Nazis compelled many victims in occupied countries to sell properties and businesses. After the war the Western Allies agreed to restitute property taken and the United States, France and Britain each passed different legislation governing the restitution of property taken by Nazis. The US established the Court of Restitution Appeals (and its successor the Supreme Restitution Court Third Division) as a court of last resort for restitution cases. Twelve volumes of opinions and other documents of these two courts, from 1951 to 1966, can be searched or browsed on this site. Background information to the project, a help page and links to the catalogue records of related works are also provided.
