Summary

This document is a page from a legal reporter (349 F.Supp.2d 765) concerning the case 'In re Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001', dated 2005. It outlines legal headnotes (53-60) regarding the court's decision that allegations against a Saudi Arabian Prince and the Saudi Royal Family—concerning business ties via Saudi Arabia Airlines and charitable donations allegedly funding terrorism—were insufficient to establish personal jurisdiction in the United States. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, suggesting it was part of a Congressional document production.
