That’s hilarious.
Somehow I don’t see China paying for damages
What the heck is going on there anyway? has this thing slowed down over there?
And Rudy Gobert should be charged with attempted murder for touching all those microphones.
They would just point at the c.f the rest of the world has
made of it and claim contributory negligence.
What court are they going to sue?
RE: Lawyers Should File Lots of Class Actions Against Chinese Govt. for COVID-19
Useless exercise. Even if you win, how are you going to force them to pay?
Hedge Fund Manager Paul Singer, of Elliott Management sued Argentina for failing to pay their bond obligations and WON in a New York court. Did he get anything from Argentina?
Well yes, only AFTER Argentina after years of ignoring him, had a change of government.
Good luck with China on that.
China will ignore it, and there is the issue of standing and evidence under U.S. law. Conspiracies based on speculation from political blogs will get laughed out of court.
I would rather lawyers catch Covid-19 and crump making America a much better nation.
Innuendo is one thing. Proof is another. Collect-ability is even rarer.
Sue them for Creating the Wuhan Commievirus.
In what court do you plan on having all these lawsuits filed in that has jurisdiction over China?
It would have to be a Chinese court and any lawsuit would have be be filed per Chinese law and tried in accordance with their procedures.
And you know this objectively how? beyond popular internet conspiracies?
(I enjoy such theories as an intellectual exercise, but have no delusion that I could use it in court.)
Sovereign immunity, or state immunity, is a principle of customary international law, by virtue of which one sovereign state cannot be sued before the courts of another sovereign state without its consent. Put in another way, a sovereign state is exempt from the jurisdiction of foreign national courts.
I love these “idea pop in my head “ vanity posts....
You would need to get Congress to amend the Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act, for starters...
Communism kills.
Is that now official?
You expect the lawyers to do all of that for nothing, because surely you don’t think China would pay them?
