The US Supreme Court limited foreign investors’ ability to sue companies based abroad in American courts, throwing out a shareholder lawsuit against National Australia Bank Ltd.

The Australians argued that US courts could consider the case because it centered on alleged wrongdoing by a former US subsidiary of the bank.
