Petition of the day
By Mary Pat Dwyer
on Oct 16, 2013
The petition of the day is:
12-1485
Issue: (1) Whether the Second Circuit erred when, in conflict with decisions of this Court and other circuits and in disregard of international comity and due process, it failed to vacate severe sanctions for non-production of records located in countries where production would subject the Bank to criminal penalties, hobbling the Banks defense; and (2) whether the courts below erred by failing to dismiss plaintiffs Alien Tort Statute claims, as the Second Circuits and this Courts decisions in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum require.
