How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that \secondary or indirect theories of liability recognized by U.S. law are available for claims brought under the TVPA\ and affirming the jury verdict under aiding and abetting liability
• holding, in the context of a non-wartime case, that \a civilian superior-including a civilian corporate officer-could feasibly be held liable\ under the command responsibility doctrine
• explaining that the TVPA contemplates liability against those who did not personally execute the torture or extrajudicial killing
• “[I]f no relevant aspects of an ATS claim occur within the United States, the presumption against extraterritoriality prevents jurisdiction[.]”
• “Although the U.S. citizenship of Defendants is relevant to our inquiry, this factor is insufficient to permit jurisdiction on its own.”
• to survive summary judgment, non-movant must demonstrate “that the record in fact contains supporting evidence[] sufficient to withstand a directed verdict motion”
