Returns of Enemy Property

PURSUANT to regulation 3 of the Enemy Property Regulations 1954, the Custodian of Enemy Property hereby requires all persons who, on 1 December 1951, held or had the possession, management, or control of any enemy property (except as hereinafter mentioned) to give notice in writing to the Custodian at the Public Trust Office, Lambton Quay, Wellington, or or before the 1st day of May 1954 stating that he held or had the possession, management, or control of the property and showing full particulars thereof.

‘Enemy property’ is defined in section 2 of the Enemy Property Act 1951, as including any property which, on 1 December 1951, belonged to an enemy State or a former enemy national and which could have been demanded by or vested in the Custodian under the Enemy Property Emergency Regulations 1939 at any time while that State remained an enemy country within the meaning of those regulations, or while the former enemy national was an alien enemy or an enemy within the meaning of those regulations.

Regulation 2 (1) of the Enemy Property Regulations 1954 shows that in certain circumstances a person is deemed to have held or had the management of enemy property on 1 December 1951. This applies, for example, to a company if any of its shares or debentures were then held by a former enemy national; and to a person who was a co-owner of property with a former enemy national or who owed money to a former enemy national.

This notice relates only to enemy property which belonged to Germany, Austria, or Japan, or to nationals of any of those States (including corporations and bodies of persons constituted or incorporated in or under the laws of any of those States) and does not apply to the following classes of enemy property:

(a) Property rights arising by reason of the resumption of trade and financial relations between New Zealand and any enemy State.
(b) Any patent, design, trade-mark, or copyright, or any interest therein or right in respect thereof.
(c) Any enemy property which has been the subject of a notification to the Custodian under regulation 3 of the Enemy Property Emergency Regulations 1939.

Any further information required and forms of return of enemy property may be obtained from the Public Trustee, Wellington. Any person failing to comply with the requirements of this notice commits an offence against the Enemy Property Regulations 1954, and is liable on summary conviction to the penalties mentioned in regulation 18 of those regulations.

Dated at Wellington, this 8th day of March 1954.
G. E. Turney,
Public Trustee, as Custodian of Enemy Property.
