@Startup - I'm not too familiar with this case, but it seems to me that the Holocaust Victim's case and the Slavery Reparations cases are quite different. The Holocause Victim's case, if limited to the Swiss banks, is more a case of contracts and property; the banks were entrusted with the (stolen) property of German Jews and their ancestors simply went to reclaim the property of their ancestors.

The Slavery Reparations case is seeking damages for injury. My legalese isn't good enough to put the right words to it, but aren't these different areas of law altogether?
