English Translation

9a - 10 - the question of whether it is not one of the many negative poles which have resulted from orders of a general nature for each individual, which must be excluded from the scope of the directives, must also be carefully examined. Of the 37 requests which have been settled in the l.Instance so far, although these provisions on compensation are not interpreted narrowly by reason of the circular decree of the Reich Protector of l4.2.1942, 29 would be rejected. The cases of hardness are dealt with here in the order that the applications directly referred to by the applicant as a case of hardness will be dealt with, prepared and submitted, in the second place the cases rejected in the oral proceedings after the procedure of hardness and, after these cases have been settled, the cases dismissed from the point of view of the Article 26 Act of 20.10.1939. In this respect, however, there is no common view between your speaker and your department. My opinion is that of the application of the hardness method in the protectorate and the circular decree of the Lord Reichsprotektor of the 14th century. 2.1942 I 2 b- 50o/3 of the position that not only all claims for compensation which are suitable for substantive treatment must be regarded as contingency applications for curtailment but also as applications for restitution dismissed in accordance with Section 26 of the Act of 20.10.1939.
