MEMORANDUM & ORDER APPROVING SET 204: 1 AWARD DENIAL CERTIFIED BY THE
CLAIMS RESOLUTION TRIBUNAL PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 31(2) OF THE RULES
GOVERNING THE CLAIMS RESOLUTION PROCESS
KORMAN,J.:
As provided under the Settlement Agreement, and in accordance with the procedures
established in the December 8, 2000 Memorandum & Order and in the Distribution Plan, the Claims
Resolution Tribunal ("CRT") is hereby requesting the Court's approval, pursuant to Article 31(2) of
the Rules, of I certified Award Denial listed in Annex A.
With this two hundred and fourth set, a total of 6,650 Certified Denials to 13,629 accounts
will have been approved under CRT II. In 6,023 of these 6,650 Denials, the CRT determined that the
claimant was not able to identify his or her relative as the account owner; in 166 cases the CRT
determined that the account owner closed the account and received the proceeds himlherself; in 59
cases the CRT determined that the claimant was not entitled to the account owner's account; in 26
cases the CRT determined that the evidence submitted by the claimant was insufficient to support the
existence of a bank account belonging to the claimant's relative; in 5 cases the CRT determined that
the claimant's relative was not a Victim of Nazi Persecution, as defined by the Settlement
Agreement; in 2 cases the CRT concluded that the account owner closed the account and received the
proceeds himlherself and, with regard to evidence submitted by that claimant, that this evidence was
insufficient to support the existence of a bank account belonging to the claimed account owner; in 1
case the claimant was not able to identify his or her relative as the account owner and, with regard to
evidence submitted by that claimant, that this evidence was insufficient to support the existence of a
bank account belonging to the claimed account owner; in 1 case the CRT determined that the
claimant's relative was not a Victim of Nazi Persecutions, as defined by the Settlement
.Agreement, and that, in any case, the account owner closed the account and received the
•
proceeds himlherself; in 1 case the CRT concluded that the account owner closed the account and
received the proceeds himlherself and the claimant was not entitled to the account owner's account;
in 4 cases the CRT determined that the evidence which was submitted by claimants in their requests
for reconsideration was insufficient to support the existence of a bank account belonging to the
claimed account owners; and in 362 cases the CRT was not able to make definitive determinations as
to the plausibility of the matches given the large number of competing matches to the same account
and therefore concluded that no award was appropriate. Therefore, it is hereby
ORDERED that the attached Award Denial is hereby approved for release to the relevant
claimant and co-claimant.
It is further ordered that the Special Masters shall provide the Court with the name and
address of every class member receiving an Award Denial, which information shall be filed with the
Court under seal.
