Wait a minute, now. I think the court simply ruled on the law as written, as opposed to making up a new law from the bench - judicial activism. In 2000, the Florida Supreme Court completely ignored the law as written and tried to make up their own law before the U.S. Supreme Court slapped them down.

It's a wakeup call to British Parliment, i.e., change the law regarding stolen Nazi art so that the law is in accordance with the "moral obligation".

Exactly right, LL, and do not legislate from the courtroom. Yes, the artworks should be returned to the Feldmann family. No, the court should not violate the law as written.
