The Distribution of German Enemy Property (No. 2) Order 1951

9.—(1) Where, in the case of a claim established for the purposes of this Order, the Administrator holds the proceeds of any German enemy property which belonged to or was held or managed on behalf of any German person from whom the debt was due, such proceeds may, if it would be more favourable to the claimant to do so, be distributed to the claimant to an extent not exceeding the amount for which the claim is admitted for payment:

Provided that the amount so distributed to any claimant of the proceeds of property which belonged to or was held or managed on behalf of any particular German person shall not exceed the amount of the German enemy debt due from his to that claimant.

(2) If more than one claim is established for the purposes of this Order in respect of debts due from the same German person and the proceeds of any German enemy property which belonged to him or was held or managed on his behalf are insufficient to make payment to the extent authorised by paragraph (1) hereof to all the claimants, any distribution under the said paragraph (1) shall be made proportionately to the amount for which each claim is admitted for payment under this Order.

(3) Any payment under this Article in respect of any claim shall be in substitution for, and not in addition to, any payment under Article 8 in respect of that claim.

(4) For the purposes of this Article German enemy property does not include property or the proceeds of property transferred to the Administrator pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 of the Act.
