The Harvard Law School Library has digitized the twelve volumes of opinions and other documents of the U.S. Court of Restitution Appeals.

"In the American Zone, the U.S. Court of Restitution Appeals began as a purely American court, established by OMGUS Law No. 59 on the Restitution of Identifiable Property. Pursuant to the Paris Convention of October 23, 1954, the United States Court of Restitution Appeals was succeeded by the Supreme Restitution Court Third Division, on August 5, 1955. [...] This court was composed of five Justices, including two Americans, two Germans, and a "neutral" — the latter being the President. English and German were the official languages of the Court. The decisions of the Court are drafted either in English or in German and translated into the other language. Each decision contains an introductory statement, indicating which text controls in the particular case." (source: Harvard Law School Digital Library)
