Kaplan v. Bank Saderat PLC

Judges Cabranes, Lynch, and Lohier
Background: The plaintiffs are American victims of terror attacks in Israel. They appeal from the dismissal of their complaint for lack of in personam jurisdiction over a bank associated with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Ruling: The Second Circuit vacated and remanded. The court held that the district court relied upon the erroneous finding that the defendant bank had successfully challenged personal jurisdiction in the District of Columbia before the case was transferred to New York.
Robert J. Tolchin, The Berkman Law Office, for the plaintiffs-appellants.
