United States Second Circuit
Licci v. Lebanese Canadian Bank, SAL, 15-1580
In an international action, brought by several dozen civilians of differing nationalities seeking to hold defendant bank liable for allegedly facilitating Hezbollah rocket attacks that injured or killed plaintiffs' family members, the district court's dismissal in favor of defendant is affirmed where the Alien Tort Statute claims at issue on appeal cannot be used to impose corporate liability under Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum Co., 621 F.3d 111, 145 (2nd Cir. 2010).
