The Latvian Supreme Court has issued a judgment which directly references our work in applying our then emphasized legal doctrine of "continuity of state" to Latvia and the Baltic States in general in the aftermath of Russian occupation.
See THE LATEST ISSUE OF “JURISTA VĀRDS” DEDICATED TO BALTIC GERMAN LEGAL SCHOLAR DIETRICH ANDRÉ LOEBER AND THE JUDGMENT OF THE SUPREME COURT REGARDING HIS SON’S CITIZENSHIP
As written in that article by Rasma Zvejniece, Head of the Division of Communication of the Latvian Supreme Court, E-mail: rasma.zvejniece@at.gov.lv, telephone: +371 67020396, +371 2865221:
"With the help of the senator's son, the rulings of the Senate
were republished in the restored Latvia, and Dietrich André Loeber was the
first to encourage today's judges to use the findings of judgments of the
Senate of the Republic of Latvia in their work, which is the "gold
mine" for legal opinions, that have retained their significance even
nowadays."
That's OUR
work back in the 1970's, which the mass of jurists in Kiel and elsewhere thought to be a theoretical waste of time. Think again, folks. Loeber was a visionary, and he saw what was coming in the then Soviet Union. You did not. As it turns out, we were the REALOS, and you were the erring theorists.
As one can
see in the article, in the case at issue, it is our emphasized
"doctrine of the continuity of state", that was the root of our work, which has led to Loeber's eldest
son to recover his otherwise lost Latvian citizenship.
