The circulars include the following issues: no. 1612, no. 1603, no. 1605, and no. 1604. They mainly deal with recent court judgements made by the German Federal Court (Bundesgerichtshof) on questions of restitution after Nazi persecution, especially regarding newly established juridical regulations and proceedings for claims within the Federal law for restitution („Bundesentschädigungsgesetz”). Furthermore, the issues focus on the status of being recognized as a refugee (“Flüchtlingseigenschaft”). The topics include: „Herabsetzung des Hundertsatzes rechtskräftiger Entscheidungen“, „Wirksame Anmeldung eines Anspruchs“, „Flüchtlingseigenschaft“.
