Subrogation and Immunity
On July 25, 2008, the United States District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit decided against Libya's Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act claim in La Reunion Aerienne v. Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya et al., docket number 07-7050. A French insurer who had stepped into the shoes of Americans it paid under a policy covering the bombing of a French airliner over Africa could successfully plead subject-matter jurisdiction under the terrorism exception to the FSIA, the court held. -- Clemens Kochinke, Berliner, Corcoran & Rowe, LLP, Washington.
