93 the protector reserved the right to adapt the measures on the restriction of the movement of Jews to local conditions in the Protectorate. The Government of the Protectors established the anti-Semitism of the second republic, given in particular the pressures of the empire, when it took note of the decision of the Bar Association in Prague of 15 March 1939 on the exclusion of non-Aryan lawyers from representation before the court. (240) The Government also agreed that the Minister of Commerce should discuss without delay with non-Aryan organisations and industrial enterprises the removal of non-Aryans from all leading positions, while at the same time agreeing to issue stickers for the external designation of Aryan trades. On 21 June 1939, the Reich Protector issued an order on Jewish property (241) which replaced in this regard all previous decisions of the heads of civil administrations, issued at the time of the military administration in the Protectorate in the first month of the occupation. This standard, which was published 22. On June 1939, in the newspaper Der Neue Tag, it created a legal basis for the transfer of property, which is in the Jewish possession of "Aryan hands" (the "Arization"). A very wide definition of Jewish property and Jewish enterprise allowed the occupation authorities to acquire mainly Czech companies through arsation, since the regulation could also affect non-Jewish property in a case of common interest. The Reich Protector's decree had retroactive effect from 17 March 1939. The Jewish property contract concluded without permission is declared ineffective by the regulation, with the Contracting Parties being punished by a 10-year prison. To persons responsible for the management of land books, commercial registers and other public registers, the regulation imposed increased liability. Minutes of the transfer of Jewish property could only be made if the applicant demonstrated the necessary written permission of the competent authority. (242) According to the Reich Protector's Decree on the expulsion of Jews from the Protectorate's economy of 26 January 1940 (243), Jews could be banned from the management of economic enterprises of any kind. These undertakings were liquidated and cancelled, exceptionally transferred to non-Jewish ownership.
