Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Canada. Office of the Custodian of Enemy Property : The Office of the Custodian of Enemy Property was established in 1916 under the authority of the War Measures Act of 1914. Its function was to take action under the Trading with the Enemy regulations, including the seizure and liquidation of enemy property. From 1919 to 1939 it served the function of administering war claims and reparations. With the outbreak of the Second World War, the office once again was given responsibility for Trading with the Enemy regulations. In 1942 the role of the Custodian was expanded to include the administration of property taken from Japanese Canadians. In the post Second World War period the Office of the Custodian held responsibility for resolving Canadian War Claims, and the resolution of outstanding wartime property issues. This latter process was complicated and extended by large scale nationalization of property in Eastern Europe in the post war period. The Office of the Custodian of Enemy Property ceased operations in 1985.
