2nd Cir. 15-0690 Panel Decision
Peterson v. Islamic Republic of Iran
The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reviewed a dispute over the enforcement of judgments against Iran involving bond proceeds held by foreign banks. The court vacated the lower court's dismissal of non-turnover claims against plaintiffs who were not parties to prior settlement agreements and remanded the case to determine the location of assets and applicable immunity defenses.
