Service on former President
In the matter of Ye v.
Zemin, docket number 03-3989, the United States Court of Appeals for
the Seventh Circuit had to decide the issue whether an attempt toserve a
complaint on a former president of a foreign nation could be impermissible. In
light of arguments proferred by the executive branch of the United States government to the effect that service would foil objectives of the United States in the diplomatic arena, the court determined that such objectives could bar service.
