How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- finding that experts in the field of terrorism reasonably relied on news reports and other secondary sources
- allowing the defendant to renew evidentiary objection originally made at summary judgment at trial
- distinguishing Rothstein and finding genuine issue of material fact as to whether bank's transmission of millions of dollars to Hamas front organizations substantially enhanced Hamas ability to perpetrate the terrorist attacks at issue
- denying summary judgment because “[o]n this record, a reasonable juror could conclude that . .. Hamas’ increased ability to carry out deadly attacks was a foreseeable consequence of sending millions of dollars to groups controlled by Hamas”
- such an approach would \make the ATA practically a dead letter because '[m]oney is fungible' \
- “While admitting to a violent attack on innocents typically is detrimental to a declarant’s interests, the interests and motives of terrorists are far from typical.”
