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. Van Heyghen Freres Societe Anonyme, 163 F.2d 246 (2 Cir.), cert. den., 332 U.S. 772 , 68 S.Ct. 88 , 92 L.Ed. 357 (1947); Bernstein v. N. V.

Miguel Pons v. Republic of Cuba

See Bernstein v. Van Heyghen Freres S.A., 2 Cir., 163 F.2d 246, 249 , certiorari denied 1947, 332 U.S. 772 , 68 S.Ct. 88 , 92 L.Ed. 357 . 10 But I do not think we should carry the act of state doctrine to the point where we permit a foreign state to come into our courts as a suitor and secure equitable relief on better or different terms than those available to an American litigant in the same courts. 11 Cuba here sought the extraordinary equitable relief of an injunction and an accounting from Pons who, as an agent of Cuba, held property of that country.
