This document is page 43 of a legal opinion or brief from 2012 titled 'In re: TERRORIST ATTACKS ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001.' It discusses the legal liability of entities under the Alien Tort Statute (ATS) and the Torture Victim Protection Act (TVPA) for providing material support and financing to al-Qaeda. The text argues that the District Court erred in dismissing claims against banks (Al Rajhi Bank, Saudi American Bank, National Commercial Bank) on the grounds that corporations cannot be sued as individuals under the TVPA, citing various precedents including 'Khulumani' and 'Mohamad v. Rajoub'. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, indicating it was part of a Congressional investigation production.
