Atlantic Trading USA, LLC v. BP P.L.C.
Petition for certiorari denied on June 15, 2020
Disclosure: Goldstein & Russell, P.C., whose attorneys contribute to this blog in various capacities, is among the counsel to the petitioners in this case.
Issues: (1) Whether passing Morrison v. National Australia Bank, Ltd.’s domestic-transaction test is sufficient or merely necessary to determine whether a claim seeks a permissibly territorial
application of U.S. law; and (2) whether the focus of the Commodity Exchange
Act differs from the Securities Exchange Act’s focus on
the location of the exchange or transaction at issue.
