2nd Circ. Tosses Sudan's Appeal Over 9/11 Immunity Denial

Wednesday, September 4, 2024

Sean P. Carter was quoted in the Law360 article “2nd Circ. Tosses Sudan's Appeal Over 9/11 Immunity Denial” by Law360. The article discusses the Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that Sudan cannot appeal a decision denying its claim to sovereign immunity related to its alleged support of al-Qaida before the 9/11 attacks, citing a statutory bar on immediate appeals for terrorism-related exceptions to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. This decision allows the 9/11 victims' lawsuit against Sudan to proceed without further delay.

In a statement to Law360, Sean said that they were "pleased the Second Circuit rejected Sudan's efforts to further delay proceedings on the merits, and the 9/11 community looks forward to moving ahead with discovery."
