A U.S. lawyer representing Panama and the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo has asked the Delaware Supreme Court to overturn the dismissal of a suit against the tobacco industry. The two foreign governments seek to recover expenses for the medical care of sick smokers. A lower court judge in Delaware dismissed the suit in June, ruling that the two governments were not seeking damages for personal injuries and failed to establish that tobacco products were the proximate cause of any economic injuries.

An attorney representing Panama and the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo has asked the Delaware Supreme Court to overturn the dismissal of a lawsuit against the tobacco industry.
The two foreign governments, seeking to recover expenses for the medical care of sick smokers, turned to Delaware last year after a judge in Louisiana said Louisiana was not the proper forum for a lawsuit initially filed in 1998.
