                     CHAPTER 4.   IMMUNITIES FROM JURISDICTION

                       TOPIC   2. IMMUNITIES OF FOREIGN STATE

§ 66. Applicability of Immunity of Foreign State

C.A.3, 2022. Subsec. (f) cit. in ftn. Father, on behalf of minor son who was a United States citizen, sued,
among  others, current and former Crown Princes of Saudi Arabia, seeking to recover defendants'
alleged debt to father's business, which was later assigned to son, related to an oil refinery in Saint
Lucia. The district court granted defendants' motion to dismiss. While vacating and remanding with
directions, this court held that the dismissal of the Crown Princes was warranted for lack of personal
jurisdiction. The court declined to resolve whether the Crown Princes were entitled to governmental
immunity, noting that, while the U.S. Department of State's policy was to grant immunity to foreign
officials for any actions taken in their official capacity, Restatement Second of Foreign Relations Law §

of law against the state. Aldossari on Behalf of Aldossari v. Ripp, 49 F.4th 236, 256.

§ 185. When Taking  is Wrongful under International Law

D.D.C.2022. Quot. in case quot. in sup. Grandchildren of Jewish Austrian decedent sued the Federal
Republic of Germany, alleging that defendant was in wrongful possession of rent and sale proceeds
related to a building in Berlin that was owned by decedent before it was expropriated by the Nazi
regime. This court denied defendant's motion to dismiss on grounds of sovereign immunity pursuant to
the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, holding that defendant was not immune from suit under the
expropriation exception. The court reasoned, in part, that plaintiffs sufficiently alleged that the
expropriation did not constitute a domestic taking, because decedent was not a national of Germany, and
