Can two US green card residents be involved in a civil case in their home country?

[AmericanWannabe]

By laws of their home country, they must have their permanent residency
where the court is located (or at least either plaintiff or defedants).

If two are involved in a such case, would at least one of them's GC
be revoked because they claim their permanent residence is in
their home country not USA?

The case is about slander etc.

If the defendent claims permanent residence in the US and is somehow able to notify the BCIS that the other party has claimed permanent residency of the other country, he can gain a significant advantage in this situation. Theoretically this could result in deportation of the other individual. And since this is a civil suite, the defendent will not have to worry about the impact of this on his immigration status here.

AWB:
I guess you are referring the issue- for example connected with
Two persons having a 'permanent address'(as per that country lwas/regulations) at a place and court is located with in that jurisdiction, you mean?or entirley different?
If it is first one--take this example:
Two persons A and B are citizens of X country and also are LPRs of US.
They have a permanent address also in X country at a place Y.
The court Z has a jurisdicton over place Y.Now while on temp.trip of their
home country A trespassed in to prpoerty of B and which is a civil offense, for exmaple, in country X.
In the above example how LPR status is affected for any one when the two A and B are in involved in a civil suite?None.
Arizonian:

'If the defendent claims permanent residence in the US and is somehow able to notify the BCIS that the other party has claimed permanent residency of the other country, he can gain a significant advantage in this situation.'

Being citizens of other country is not a case for an LPR of US erred on wrong side and not an objection to CIS.
As a citizen of that country, that country still allows to have a 'permanent residence address' also in that country.(Many countries I know, allow this).
For example if you have come on H1 and later obtained
your GC--In your H1 application, you had given your native country address
and may have termed it as 'permamnent residency address' for communication and if returned from US you are normally expected to return to that palce.
Now once you obtained LPR of US, did you inform CIS that since
you are LPR, you relinquihsed your PR home in your home country where you are citizen?
Now if you are involved in a case there on a trip and if it is in juirsdictional court of of your so called 'permanent resident address' how it will affect your US LPRstatus even if some body send proof to CIS?

As a PR, you have to reside permanently in the US. That's why it is called "Permanent Resident"... Residing here means that your "place of general abode" is in the US, in other words, your center of life is here.
Now, laws of other countries don't take US law into account, and the US doesn't take laws in other countries into account.
So, the first question would have to be: what does the other country mean when they say "permanent residency"? Even just between the US and Canada, that term has different meanings (the Canadian one is more permissive.)

The case I talked about is about two PRs who are citizens of the same country. One sued the other ina court in their citizenship country, and
other claimed that the court rule there say court only accept such case
if the plaintiff is a resident in that court's jurisdiction so that he argued
that the plaintiff is a permanent resident of the USA and so he is not a resident in that court jurisdictio so he asked the court not accept the
case.

and some advised the defedants that if the plaintiff still go ahead by claiming
he is a resident in teh court jurisdiction, the defedant should send a tip
to the USCIS to have his GC revoked. The case is discussed on the
internet so that alls kinds of people are offering weird suggestions

--*yup, possible,I meant that.

-----*Yes,still some countries allow this though they knew that their citizen is normally not a resident for most part of the year but if he has an address there and he is the lawful owner of property and paying any due things.

For AWB question, I think the answer still is--- he won't loose his LPR status
as long as he meets the requirements of LPR here in US like paying taxes,not having extensive trips outside,have property,not taken that other country citizenship later to becoming LPR and unless a specfic treaty between US and that country exists (!) and so on...
Otherswise,The reason is, as you already mentioned that, US doesn't take laws in other countries into account.
It is, now, the problem of other country but not of US then.
