state immunity |

Sometimes called ‘sovereign immunity’, the doctrine which deals with the immunity of foreign states from the jurisdiction of local courts and law-enforcement agencies. At one time the immunity was complete. But with the increased tendency of states to engage in commercial activity, many states have drawn a distinction between these ‘private acts’ and a state\'s ‘public acts’, immunity being granted only to the latter. Britain and the United States are among those who have withdrawn foreign states’ immunity from suit in respect of private acts, their decisions being taken in the late 1970s. |
