More on how this was screened

Samantar v. Yousuf held that the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act does not govern an individual foreign official's immunity; later courts describe El-Fadl as abrogated on that ground while continuing to apply its jurisdictional-discovery and forum non conveniens rules.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

45 later cases cite Hassan El-Fadl v. Central Bank of Jordan; 45 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.

Treatments

Abrogated

  • The Supreme Court held that the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act does not decide whether an individual foreign official is immune for official acts, displacing El-Fadl's treatment of a Jordanian official under that Act.

    Samantar v. Yousuf · Supreme Court of the United States · filed

    The narrow question we must decide is whether the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (FSIA or Act), 28 U. S. C. §§ 1330, 1602 et seq., provides petitioner with immunity from suit based on actions taken in his official capacity. We hold that the FSIA does not govern the determination of petitioner’s immunity from suit.
