50 U.S.C. § 4330: Notice of claim; institution…

Summary

A notice of claim had to be filed to ask for the return of property. If the United States got the property before December 18, 1941, the claim had to be filed by August 9, 1948. If it got the property on or after December 18, 1941, the claim had to be filed by the later of one year from February 9, 1954 or two years after it became government property. A lawsuit had to be started by April 30, 1949, or within two years of seizure or when the property became owned by the Alien Property Custodian, whichever was later; any time a related suit or claim was pending does not count toward that two‑year limit.
