SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 5 – BNP Paribas was sued,
and raised as part of its
defense the laws of
Switzerland and of
Sudan.
On November
5 U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Alison J. Nathan held an
oral argument. Inner City
Press covered it.
The case
involves BNP violating Sudan
sanctions, and the mass
killing of civilians in Darfur
and elsewhere by the then Omar
al Bashir government, for
which BNP claims to bear no
responsibility.
Going back
from the docket, neither the
complaint nor the amended
complaint are available to the
public.
But the Rule 44.1
notice of issues of foreign
law is.
Judge Nathan said
she will mull the Swiss law
and issue a ruling.
The case is
Kashef et al v. BNP Paribas SA
et al., 16-cv-3228 (Nathan)
