Republic of Argentina, Petitioner v. NML Capital, Ltd., 12-842, Reply of petitioner Republic of (U.S. Mar. 26, 2013)
Whether the identity of the party served with the subpoena affects the scope of the FSIA’s immunity provisions is not only addressed and answered by the reasoning and holdings of the decisions on both sides of the circuit split, see Rep. Pet. at 19–21, but will likely be determined by this Court’s resolution of whether the FSIA limits post- judgment asset discovery in the first place.
If, on the other hand, the Court agrees with the Republic, Rubin, and the majority of the circuits that the FSIA limits the permissible scope of discovery to assets that can be executed on pursuant to Sections 1609 and 1610, the consequence of that holding is that a judgment creditor may not circumvent these restrictions by simply seeking the same information from a third party.
In Rafidain II, the court held that subject matter jurisdiction over a foreign sovereign continued through post-judgment enforcement proceedings, “to the extent those procedures and responsibilities are related to [the sovereign’s] commercial activities in the United States.” 281 F.3d at 53 (emphasis added).
NML’s ipse dixit about what is best for the “debt markets” —a rule providing unbounded, intrusive discovery that seems hardly consistent with effective market functioning—is at bottom irrelevant, because nothing in the text, structure, or history of the FSIA indicates any intent by Congress to assist the worldwide litigation strategies of professional holdout creditors.
