United States Federal Circuit

In a case in which domestic producers sought distributions under the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000 and sought to compel the assessment and collection of additional antidumping duties, the dismissal of claims by the United States Court of International Trade is affirmed with respect to certain claims and reversed with respect to others, where: 1) the Trade Court lacked jurisdiction to hear certain claims against various sureties, both under statute and because it did not possess common law, pendent jurisdiction; and 2) the plaintiffs were not intended third-party beneficiaries of bond contracts posted by the sureties, so they could not enforce the contracts.
