Athens Court of Appeals

Date of the decision, of the judgment

01/01/1988

Points of law

Although an instrumentality of a foreign State does not possess legal personality according to its national law, such instrumentality is considered to have locus standi before Greek Courts, if it has developed activities of its own.

Summary of the case

Although an instrumentality of a foreign State does not possess legal personality according to its national law, an instrumentality of a foreign State is considered to have its own distinct legal capacity when such instrumentality has developed activities of its own. In the latter case even if such instrumentality is not distinct from the foreign State, it has its own locus standi before the Greek courts.
