The Supreme Court on Tuesday extended protection for foreign companies from lawsuits in the United States over conduct that took place in other countries.

The justices threw out a case from California that sought damages from Germany-based Daimler AG for its alleged complicity in atrocities committed in Argentina’s “dirty war” against leftists from 1976 to 1983.
