BNP Paribas Is Sued Under Swiss and Sudanese Law While Original Complaint Unavailable

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 5 – BNP Paribas was sued, and raised as part of its defense the laws of Switzerland and of Sudan. 

 On November 5 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Alison J. Nathan held an oral argument. Inner City Press covered it.

 The case involves BNP violating Sudan sanctions, and the mass killing of civilians in Darfur and elsewhere by the then Omar al Bashir government, for which BNP claims to bear no responsibility.

  Going back from the docket, neither the complaint nor the amended complaint are available to the public.

But the Rule 44.1 notice of issues of foreign law is.

Judge Nathan said she will mull the Swiss law and issue a ruling.

The case is Kashef et al v. BNP Paribas SA et al., 16-cv-3228 (Nathan)
