NY appeals court rules to apply Israeli law in Bank of China terror financing case
Ruling seen as victory for families of terror victims suing Bank of China; Israeli law uniquely strict on indirect aid of terror finance.
Cause we had to deal with the problem long before "9/11"
The Shurat Hadin - Legal Action Center told The Jerusalem Post on late Thursday night that it had won a significant battle in its terror financing case (on behalf of 22 families) against the Bank of China by convincing the New York Appellate Division to apply Israeli law and keep the case in New York.
The most dramatic aspect of the state appeals court decision was that it both reversed the lower New York court decision to apply New York law in the case in favor of Israeli law and it made this decision against recent precedents by the Federal Second Circuit Court.
Now, just stop for a second and imagine your typical leftard arguing for the sanctity of the "American law" against a "foreign" one
