美国最高法院规则NJ Transport N.S. 最高法院规则 NJ Transport 可以在新泽西以外起诉,驳回主权豁免要求。 U.S. Supreme Court rules NJ Transit can be sued outside New Jersey, rejecting sovereign immunity claim.

美国最高法院一致裁定,新泽西岛转运站可在其他州被起诉,驳回其主权豁免要求。 The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that New Jersey Transit can be sued in other states, rejecting its claim of sovereign immunity. 法院认为,NJ Transport是一个单独的法律实体,无权享有国家豁免,允许在宾夕法尼亚州和纽约正在进行的伤害案件继续审理。 The court held that NJ Transit is a separate legal entity not entitled to the state’s immunity, allowing ongoing injury cases in Pennsylvania and New York to proceed. Sonia Sotomayor法官强调,NJ Transport独立运作,承担自己的债务,不受国家直接控制。 Justice Sonia Sotomayor emphasized that NJ Transit operates independently, bears its own debts, and is not directly controlled by the state. 这项裁决推翻了宾夕法尼亚州最高法院给予豁免的裁决,并肯定了纽约州法院关于NJ Transport不属于国家管辖的裁决。 The decision overturns a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that granted immunity and affirms a New York court’s finding that NJ Transit is not state-affiliated. 这项裁决是2026年任期的第一个主要决定,它澄清说,国有公司不自动继承主权豁免,特别是在适用联邦管辖权的情况下。 The ruling, the first major decision of the 2026 term, clarifies that state-created corporations do not automatically inherit sovereign immunity, especially when federal jurisdiction applies.
