Plaintiffs appeal court decision in Holocaust property case
Plaintiffs have appealed against a decision by a US court to reject a property claim of Holocaust victims against the National Bank of Hungary and the Hungarian State Railways (MAV), daily Magyar Nemzet said on Tuesday.
The Chicago court dropped the case started in 2010 in which plaintiffs sought billions of US dollars in compensation for the loss of property, the paper said, citing the Hungarian Development Ministry. The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit said in August that the plaintiffs must first seek legal recourse in Hungary before turning to a US court.
The court did not accept the complainants’ arguments that the Hungarian courts were not independent and could not ensure a just procedure.
