Coalition of 15 U.S. jurisdictions asks Supreme Court to back YPF plaintiffs
Published · Updated
What happened
According to Argentine business press, 15 U.S. states and territories asked the U.S. Supreme Court in the past 24 hours to side with the funds seeking to reinstate the USD 16.1 billion YPF expropriation claim against Argentina.
Why it matters
A new filing by subnational U.S. governments adds weight to the plaintiffs' attempt to obtain Supreme Court review. That can affect the timeline, legal posture, and perceived recovery prospects in one of the largest outstanding claims linked to Argentina and YPF.
A coalition of 15 U.S. states and territories filed an amicus brief asking the U.S. Supreme Court to support the Petersen/Eton Park plaintiffs in the YPF expropriation case and to overturn the appellate ruling that had favored Argentina. The move reopens immediate attention on litigation tied to the 2012 nationalization of YPF and the USD 16.1 billion judgment exposure discussed in Argentine reporting. For Argentina, the development keeps legal uncertainty active around a state-controlled energy company and around potential sovereign payment obligations if higher U.S. courts revive the claim.
