21 December 2016 Guelph Treasure (Welfenschatz), Letter to the court re Philipp et al v Federal Republic of Germany et al

Following passage of the HEAR Act, the plaintiffs filed a letter to alert the court to the new law on the grounds that the new law preempted the law under which the defendants had made their argument. They also  pointed out to the court that a second argument made by the defendants had also been mooted, namely, the claim that individual claims like my clients’ conflict with U.S. policy and are thus preempted.
