11. In JPMORGAN CHASE BANK v. TRAFFIC STREAM (BVI) INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED, 536 U.S. 88, 122 S.Ct. 2054, 153 L.Ed.2d 95 (2002), the Supreme Court, in a unanimous opinion by Justice Souter, held that a corporation in the British Virgin Islands was a citizen or subject of the United Kingdom, despite the company’s argument that it was not a citizen under the law of the United Kingdom. In so holding, the Court looked to United States law to determine whether the foreign entity is a citizen or subject of a foreign state.

Was it appropriate for the Court to ignore foreign law in determining the citizenship of a foreign entity?
