CC/Devas (Mauritius) Ltd. v. Antrix Corp.

Summary

The Court held that under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, personal jurisdiction over a foreign state arises automatically when an immunity exception applies and the defendant has been properly served; no additional minimum‑contacts analysis is required. Accordingly, the Ninth Circuit's requirement of a traditional International Shoe contacts test was erroneous, and the Court reversed and remanded the case for further proceedings consistent with this interpretation.
