United Arab Emirates (State) v. Pinto (individual)

Author(ity)

Supreme Court of Cassation

Date of the decision, of the judgment

12/02/1999

Points of law

The decision admits the possibility to bring a specific trial action to protect the immunity of a foreign State from execution.

Summary of the case

Preventive jurisdiction in appeals based on the enforcement measure filed by an Italian citizen vs. a foreign State is inadmissible, in that the immunity of a foreign State from enforcement measures is adequately safeguarded by the appeal against execution.
