American National Red Cross v. S. G.
Supreme Court of the United States
Decided June 19, 1992No. 91-594PublishedCited by 186 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Souter
The Charter of the American National Red Cross authorizes the organization “to sue and be sued in courts of law and equity, State or Federal, within the jurisdiction of the United States.” 33 Stat. 600, as amended, 36 U. S. C. §2. In this case we consider whether that “sue and be sued” provision confers original jurisdiction on federal courts over all cases to which the Red Cross is a party, with the consequence that the organization is thereby authorized to remove from state to federal court any state-law action it is defending. We hold that the clause does confer such jurisdiction.
