05-85:
Whether an entity that is wholly and beneficially owned by a foreign
state's instrumentality, and whose sole purpose is to perform
international treaty and trade agreement obligations for the benefit of
the foreign state's citizens, may nonetheless be denied status as an
"organ of a foreign state" under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act
of 1976, based on an analysis of sovereignty that ignores the
circumstances surrounding the entity's creation, conduct, and
operations on behalf of its government.
See the SG's invitation brief here.

Whether an antitrust complaint
predicated on alleged
collusive activity in the securities markets must, in order to survive
a motion
to dismiss on grounds of implied antitrust immunity, set forth
allegations
sufficient to support a reasonably grounded expectation that the
plaintiff's
claims do not rest on collaborative activities that are either
permitted under
the securities laws or inextricably intertwined with such permissible
activities. See the SG's invitation brief here.
