Saudi Arabia: UK court rules on immunity

A British court has ruled that two Saudi royals involved in litigation in London over a business dispute do not have immunity from being sued. Allegiance Commission head Prince Mishaal Bin Abdelaziz and his son Prince Abdelaziz were seeking immunity as members of the Al-Saud. Their lawyers argued that they travelled on diplomatic passports and undertook duties for King Abdullah, and so should be entitled to sovereign immunity.
