is required to submit a written statement of claim, 
and the matter is referred to the Court. The Chief 
Judge and the European Judge sitting together hear 
the owner and his witnesses and the Director and

the Government. There is no appeal from the 
decision of the Judges, but if they disagree, the 
matter is submitted to the State Council for decision.
