The Jewish owner allegedly sold the painting to the nazis under duress but at FMV. French law says a sale under duress is null and void even if FMV was paid. Heirs are suing the met. Fun art law hypo.

While a "hypo" traditionally refers to a made-up scenario, it is used for actual cases in the following ways:

Modifying Real Cases: A lawyer or professor may take an actual, litigated case and create a "hypo" that is a slight variation of it to explore how the outcome might change.

"Testing" an Actual Case: In litigation, attorneys use hypotheticals to "debug" their arguments, essentially running a "dry run" or simulation of a real case they are preparing.

Case seems to fall entirely on the fact that he is a jew.

Everyone else on earth sold property to survive during a time of war. So yes, heirs must be compensated and given a new homeland

That other people have a case but didn’t bring their case doesn’t negate the plaintiff’s case

By the same token the heirs should have to pay full restitution to the Incas who originally suffered at his hands irrespective of his artistic skills
