Practice question
A court is deciding whether it must pronounce a foreign territorial decree invalid to grant relief. Why should it identify the exact act and relief rather than rely on the presence of a foreign bank?
- Every foreign bank is necessarily a sovereign State
- Any foreign currency automatically ends jurisdiction
- Private nationality is the sole universal test
- A bank’s address determines every sovereign act
- The doctrine concerns governmental territorial acts and the actual adjudication requested
