Banco Nacional De Cuba v. Farr
It may be noted, also, that the Supreme Court expressly declined to pass on the so-called Bernstein exception to the act of state doctrine predicated upon a letter from the Acting Legal Advisor to the State Department written for the purpose of relieving the court from any constraint upon the exercise of its jurisdiction to pass on the validity of the foreign decree involved in that case. 376 U.S. at 420 , 84 S.Ct. 923 ; see Bernstein v.

See Bernstein v.
