Trading with the Enemy Amendment Act 1916

Under the 1914 Act, ownership of enemy assets (unless the property was insignificant) had been put in trust and held by the Public Truste; business activities were monitored by the Board of Trade. The 1916 amendment required trustees to liquidate those holdings and hold the sale proceeds in trust for the enemy until the end of hostilities.^[2]
