IMMUNITY OF FOREIGN STATES FROM JURISDICTION TO ADJUDICATE § 455. Claims Concerning Property Taken in Violation of International Law: Law of the United States C.A.D.C.2017. Quot. in conc. and diss. op., cit. in case cit. in conc. and diss. op. (citing and quoting § 455 of T.D. No. 2, 2016); Rprt's Note 6 quot. in conc. and diss. op., cit. in ftn. to conc. and diss. op. (citing and quoting Rprt's Note 6 to § 455 of T.D. No. 2, 2016). A seven-decade effort by members of a Jewish Hungarian family to recover and repossess a valuable art collection seized from them during the Holocaust by the Nazis and collaborating Hungarian government culminated in a suit in which plaintiffs alleged common law breach-of-bailment, conversion, and unjust-enrichment claims against the Republic of Hungary, its museums, and a state university. The trial court denied Hungary's motion to dismiss as barred by the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA), except with respect to two paintings. This court affirmed in part and reversed in part, holding, inter alia, that Hungary was immune from jurisdiction, because the first prong of the commercial-activity requirement of the expropriation exception was not satisfied. The concurring and dissenting opinion quoted Restatement Fourth of Foreign Relations Law: Sovereign Immunity § 455 (T.D. No. 2, 2016) for its clear articulation of the expropriation exception to a foreign state's immunity and noted that some courts had allowed actions under the second prong of this exception to be brought against the foreign state in question rather than its agency or instrumentality.
