       Law concerning procedure for decision in legal
                       affairs of the
              Protestant Church of 36 June 1935
                              
The Reich Cabinet has resolved upon the following
law which is hereby published:

                           Para. 1
                              
Should the decision in a civil lawsuit depend upon
whether measures taken in the Protestant State
Church or in the German Protestant Church since 1
May 1933 are valid, and should the validity be
doubted by a person involved in the case or by the
court rendering the decision, then it must defer
the case until a resolution  has been made by the
"Office for Decisions in legal matters of the
Protestant Church" (Paragraphs 2,3).  This is set
up in the Reich Ministry of the Interior.

                           Para. 2
                              
(1)  The Office for Decisions decided whether measures
  specified in Para. 1 are valid or not.

(2)  The decision of the Office for Decisions is finals and
  universally binding.  It is to be published in the official
  gazette of the Reich.

                           Para. 3
                              
The Office for Decisions may leave the decision up
to the court.

                           Para. 4
                              
The Reich Minister of the Interior publishes the
legal and administrative measures necessary for
the execution and supplementing of this law.

                           Para. 5
                              
This law takes effect on 1 July 1935.  The Reich
Minister of the Interior decided the time of its
abrogation.
Berlin, 25 June, 1935.
