City of Gotha and Federal Republic of Germany v. Sotheby's and Cobert Finance S.A. : ウィキペディア英語版 | City of Gotha and Federal Republic of Germany v. Sotheby's and Cobert Finance S.A. The City of Gotha and Federal Republic of Germany v. Sotheby's and Cobert Finance S.A. was a September 1998 case in the High Court of England and Wales involving the ownership of a Joachim Wtewael painting. The case was the first reported court decision on section 221 of the German Civil Code (Burgerliches Gesetzbuch). This section involves the limitation of proprietary actions when a third party has acquired possession of the property.〔''City of Gotha and Federal Republic of Germany v. Sotheby's and Cobert Finance S.A.'' ()〕 The case is important in regards to the concepts of statutes of limitation and acquisitive prescription.〔Muller-Katzenburg, "Possession and Ownership of Stolen or Otherwise Lost Works of Art" in Prott, Lyndel V.,eds, ''Witnesses to History: A Compendium of Documents and Writings on the Return of Cultural Objects ''(Paris: United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, 2009) at 315. ()〕 ==Procedural History==
The case was a consolidation between an action brought by the City of Gotha against Sotheby's and an action brought by Federal Republic of Germany against Cobert Finance S.A.〔Supra note 1()〕 The Federal Republic of Germany and the city of Gotha both claim ownership of the painting and claim that Cobert converted the painting by "taking constructive delivery of it March 1989, by consigning it to Sotheby's for sale at that time, by offering it for sale through Sotheby's to the City of Gotha in October 1991 and/or by demanding its return from Sotheby's in August 1993".〔Ibid〕
