The following is a summary, or in some cases a quote, of the provisions in the body of
the contract:
Clause 1 provides for the Defendants to deliver a Vollmacht to
Dr. Surner authorising him to represent them at the JCC for the
prosecution of the Claims for the Posener Property.
By clause 2 the Claimant agrees to obtain Claim Documents by
paying Mr. Chudson’s charges and out of pocket expenses for
obtaining the Claim Documents and Surner’s charges and
disbursements for prosecuting Claims for the Posener Property.
By clause 4 the Defendants acknowledged that there were “no
guarantees that sufficient Claim Documents may be found as
may be required by the JCC in order to obtain Awards to them
for the Posener Property”. In those circumstances the
Defendants would be under no liability for the costs and
expenses incurred by the Claimant.
