November 24, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 91 OPINION AND ORDER: I conclude this discussion section as I started it. This case presents the difficult challenge of interpreting a new foreign law that has not yet been addressed by the courts in that country. In the short run, the parties to this a ction could benefit from a de novo appellate review of this decision I have little doubt that FTE will seek such review. But in the long run, a better system should exist to address the problem of U.S. courts interpreting issues of first impression under foreign law. For the foregoing reasons, this case is dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin on 11/24/2014) (ama)
