 At least two restitution claims were rejected because the Committee argued that there were not enough indications showing coercion as the cause of the sale.For example, in 2009 the Restitution Committee rejected the application for the restitution of 12 works sold by the Jewish art dealer Kurt Walter Bachstitz to the "Sonderauftrag Linz" between 1940 and 1941.The Committee argued that Bachstitz had been "undisturbed" in the first years of the occupation and said it had not found signs of coercion.
