Decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the Daimler AG v. Bauman Et Al Case: Closing the Golden Door

Abstract

Following some preliminary observations related to its Kiobel background in Section I, this paper introduces the Daimler decision in Section II, in three epigraphs, respectively: History, Justice Ginsburg’s Opinion and Justice Sotomayor’s Opinion. Then it evaluates critically the decision in Section III, concluding these pages with some Final Reflections, Section IV, on what is now undoubtedly another key component for the comprehension of the system of the United States, and that in a general sense, beyond transnational human rights civil litigation.
