Extract

On February 21, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the Seventh Circuit's decision in the case of Rubin v. Islamic Republic of Iran, concluding that 28 U.S.C. §1610(g) does not provide a freestanding basis for parties holding a §1605A judgment to attach and execute against the property of a foreign state. Instead, §1610(g) may be used to identify property that would be available for attachment and execution to satisfy a §1605A judgment, but a separate provision within §1610 must first apply to overcome execution immunity.
