| Physical description | 6 files and volumes |
| Administrative/ biographical background | After the passing of the Trading with the Enemy Act 1939 and the appointment by Orders under it of Custodians of Enemy Property in the United Kingdom, the officers administering colonial territories made ordinances, and Orders under them, to the same effect. The Palestine Trading with the Enemy Ordinance 1939 (No 36 of 1939) was enacted on 5 September 1939, with retrospective effect from 3 September. A Custodian of Enemy Property was appointed by the High Commissioner on 28 September 1939 under section 9 of the Ordinance, and a Trading with the Enemy (Custodian) Order was made under the same section on 1 November 1939. By an Order in Council of 15 May 1948 (1948/1003), under the Palestine Act 1948, property vested in the Custodian of Enemy Property in Palestine was transferred to the Custodian of Enemy Property for England. |
