An article yesterday, “In Upset for City, Tax Exemptions on Property of Missions Affirmed,” should have stated that it was Judge Richard C. Casey who rejected India and Mongolia’s motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction in 2005, a ruling that was affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in 2006 and then the U.S. Supreme Court in 2007. The Supreme Court did not rule on the validity of the city’s tax liens and remanded the case. Judge Jed S. Rakoff found the liens valid in 2008 before the State Department gave notice in 2009 that it had decided to designate an exemption from property taxes as a “benefit” under the Foreign Missions Act. The Second Circuit’s decision Tuesday found that notice valid.
Also, the article referred to “embassies” when the properties at issue involve housing for staff of missions and consular posts.
