Lawsuits involving the International Development Association count as arising under U.S. federal law. The Association is treated as living in the federal court district where its main U.S. office sits. If sued in state court, the Association can move the case to federal court before trial.

For any lawsuit brought within the United States, its territories, or Puerto Rico, involving the Association: the Association is treated as if it "lives" in the federal judicial district where its main U.S. office is located. Any such lawsuit — whether at law or in equity — is treated as arising under U.S. federal law, so U.S. district courts have original jurisdiction over it. If the Association is sued as a defendant, it can move the case from a state court to the proper federal district court, any time before the trial starts, following the normal legal rules for removing a case to federal court.

For the purpose of any action which may be brought within the United States, its possessions, or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, by or against the Association in accordance with the articles, the Association shall be deemed to be an inhabitant of the Federal Judicial district in which its principal office in the United States is located, and any such action at law or in equity to which the Association shall be a party shall be deemed to arise under the laws of the United States, and the district courts of the United States shall have original jurisdiction of any such action. When the Association is a defendant in any such action, it may, at any time before the trial thereof, remove such action from a State court into the district court of the United States for the proper district by following the procedure for removal of causes otherwise provided by law.
