Tostrud denies the embassy's armed forces office's motion to dismiss the hospital operator's suit against it alleging nonpayment of medical bills for the children of an armed forces member. The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act does not preclude the hospital operator's claims since it has plausibly alleged that contracts with the office's agent constituted contracts with the office itself. A covenant in those agreements providing that the hospital operator would not "file arbitration or suit with regards to this bill" refers to the original amount due, not the discounted amount that the parties agreed to settle the bills for in those agreements. A failure to join the agent and the hospital operator's former billing intermediary is also not fatal to the operator's claims since neither is a required party.
