Charron discussed the case of Bakalar v. Vavra (S.D.N.Y., aff’d, 2d Circuit 2012), where, by successful invocation of "laches" defense and successfully disproving Nazi theft, he obtained fully-affirmed final judgment after trial in favor of owner of Egon Schiele artwork alleged to have been stolen by Nazis during World War II. He presented on the history of the case and significance of its rulings.
