By Jagna Schmude During World War II, more than 600,000 artworks were looted from Jewish families.[1] To this day, over 100,000 remain in public and private collections and have not been returned to their rightful owners.[2] Since the late 1990s, international frameworks have pushed for global efforts to return looted art. However, the introduction of statutes of limitations by national legislatures poses a serious threat to these efforts. In 2021, Poland introduced such a law. Given the country’s history and looting that took place on the territory of present-day Poland, this statute of limitations represents a massive step backwards in the global art restitution movement. A Brief History of the Restitution Problem After the War, the Polish Jewish community had become almost extinct. Approximately 90% of Polish Jews, more than 3 million people, were murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust and their properties, real and personal, were confiscated. Of those who…

On June 3, the new Canadian government tabled Bill C-2 in Parliament, called “An Act respecting certain measures relating to the security of the border between Canada and the United States and respecting other related security measures” but with a short title of “Strong Borders Act”. As the name implies, it’s mostly about border measures, customs stuff, fentanyl and immigration. But once again, following in the footsteps of past conservative and liberal governments, it contains a trojan horse that revives what has come to be known as “Lawful Access”. The Bill contains a number of search, seizure and surveillance measures that have nothing to do with the border or fentanyl. In the past, governments have tried to introduce similar measures under the guise of fighting terrorism, child abusers and cyberbullies. Now it’s apparently border security.I’m really getting tired of these sorts of bills and for a brief moment, I was…

I always tell clients that the law is not always applied perfectly when interacting with the practicalities of the real world and real people.  In other words, even when a person has the legal authority to take some action, they may still run into obstacles and red tape.  For example, a bank teller or call center representative may initially tell a client something different than their attorney.  Banks and other financial institutions generally do business in multiple jurisdictions, and even with training, are often confused regarding specific state laws surrounding wills, trusts, and powers of attorney.  These matters spark confusion … Continue reading → The post Can a Bank Refuse to Accept a Power of Attorney? appeared first on Law Firm Carolinas.

Universal relief is dead; long live universal relief! With the recent decision in Trump v. CASA, nationwide injunctions have been taken off the table as a way to control agency power. But as innocuous footnote 10 of the majority opinion notes, there remains another way for courts to grant universal, non-party remedies: section 706 of the Administrative Procedure Act, a.k.a. vacatur. Since the latter half of the twentieth century, section 706 — which allows courts to “hold unlawful and set aside agency action” — has been read to authorize universal vacatur. And indeed, some have already argued that, in lieu of nationwide injunctions, vacatur will be the tool of choice for attacking executive orders. But not lacking a bit of controversy in its own right, vacatur will have to jump several hurdles before it is cemented as the undisputed successor to bread-and-butter equitable relief. In our own article, we dive into the two questions that loom large…

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) called on Senegalese authorities to immediately release news commentator Badara Gadiaga, cease the arrest of journalists, and end retaliation against media outlets critical of the government. CPJ’s Francophone Africa Representative Moussa Ngom described the prosecution as part of  “a dangerous conflation between the press and the political opposition.” He also called for the release of Gadiaga along with other commentator Abdou Nguer and Bachir Fofana, and demanded that Senegalese authorities cease reprisal against journalists for expressing critical views. CPJ urged Senegal’s government to drop charges against all journalists currently penalized for reporting, and to reaffirm protections under the Press Code, ensuring that legal provisions are not weaponized against legitimate journalists work. The call followed the arrest of Gadiaga by Senegal’s Cybersecurity Division on July 9 over remarks made on…
