“Stolen Art” from page 15 In 2000, a descendant of the Cassirer family who had moved to San Diego in 1980 discovered that the painting was on display at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and promptly filed a petition with the Kingdom of Spain seeking its return. When the petition was rejected, the family filed a lawsuit in California in 2005 asserting property claims under California law. Over the years, the case worked its way through the courts and was ultimately remanded back to the Ninth Circuit by the U.S. Supreme Court on April 21 for further consideration. Under California law, victims of art theft are entitled to make their claims against museums in possession of stolen art for up to six years after discovery.
In the amicus brief, Bonta asserts: • The district court misidentified the relevant laws in reaching its decision; • California’s interests will be more substantially impaired by an adverse ruling; • Because many wrongs occurred in multiple jurisdictions, the painting’s current location is not as important; • California’s modern law on recovering stolen art from museums outweighs Spain’s older adverse possession law; and • Applying California’s law will achieve the maximum attainment of the underlying purpose of all the relevant laws based on the parties’ expectations. n ••• Read the amicus brief at https://tinyurl. com/CAAG-return-holocaust-painting.
