Sec. 3714. Notwithstanding section 1105 1 of the uniform commercial code, both of the following apply:
(a) A bank which has 1 or more branch offices in a foreign country shall be liable for contracts to be performed and for deposits to be repaid at any branch office in that foreign country to no greater extent than a bank, banking corporation, or other organization or association for banking purposes organized and existing under the laws of the foreign country would be liable under its laws. The laws of the foreign country for the purpose of this section are considered to include all acts, decrees, regulations, and orders promulgated or enforced by a dominant authority asserting governmental, military, or police power of any kind at the place where the branch office is located, whether or not the dominant authority is recognized as a de facto or de jure government.
(b) If by action of a dominant authority that is not recognized by the United States as the de jure government of the foreign territory concerned, any property situated in or any amount to be received in the foreign territory and carried as an asset of a branch office of the bank in the foreign territory is seized, destroyed, or canceled, the liability of the bank for any deposit received and to be repaid by it, and for any contract made and to be performed by it, at any branch office in the foreign territory shall be reduced pro tanto by the proportion that the value, as shown by the books or other records of the bank at the time of the seizure, destruction, or cancellation of the assets bears to the aggregate of all the deposit and contract liabilities of the branch offices of the bank in the foreign territory, as shown at the time by the books or other records of the bank.
