The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday upheld a lower court decision in favor of DaimlerChrysler AG in a lawsuit that alleged a subsidiary of the corporation committed human rights violations in 1970s and ’80s Argentina.
Matthew Kemner of Carroll, Burdick & McDonough‘s San Francisco office represented DaimlerChrysler in the appeal. Terry Collingsworth and Natacha Thys of International Rights Advocates in Washington, D.C., represented the plaintiffs. Calls to the lawyers late Friday were not immediately returned.
