ABN Amro's sale of its U.S. arm LaSalle Bank to Bank of America was lawful, the Dutch Supreme Court ruled Friday, overturning a lower court's blocking of the proposed $21 billion sale. It was not immediately clear how the ruling would affect the broader fight over all of ABN Amro Holding. Royal Bank of Scotland, which leads a consortium bidding on ABN Amro, had argued that the LaSalle sale should have been put to a shareholder vote, but the court said that shareholders' interests don't always come first.
