Page "Supreme Court of the Netherlands" Paragraph 50

This was demonstrated in a so-called " Test sentence ", ( Supreme Court, 12 January 1942, NJ 1942 / 271 ), in which the Supreme Court ruled that the Dutch judge was not permitted to contest the decrees of the occupying force on the basis of international law, in particular the 1907 regulation prescribed for a country at war.

In this the Supreme Court followed the advice of the barrister-general A. Rombach.
