Subject: Distributor - Simplification of operations. - 1 Annex - Already by decree of 18.10.1940 (No. Z/H.B./40) has been ordered that the decrees for the German judicial authorities in the Protectorate should not be sent to the President of the Oberlandos Court and the Attorney General, but should be forwarded to the judicial group by means of the necessary translations. This regulation has not proved to be effective for the reasons of my written statement dated 24.10.1942 (1/9 a 10652), so that I saw myself as instigating the removal of the Higher Judicial Authorities from the distributor. Despite my repeated references to the necessity of this receipt, the necessary availability has not yet been made. The present state is no longer responsible in the interest of simplification of the administration and saving of the papiar as well as the reputation of the ESTS2 authority.

I) in the same case, which - with the involvement of the President of the Supreme Court and the Attorney General - restricted itself to the notification of the orders of the Minister of the Interior of the Roicha and naturally did not contain the additions required for the German judicial authorities.
