Families of the victims are demanding millions of dollars in compensation, accusing the UN of introducing the disease to Haiti.
A lawyer for the cholera victims told the BBC that UN immunity could not mean impunity, and said the case would now be pursued in a national court.
The lawyer, Brian Concannon, said the victims' legal team would challenge the UN's right to immunity from Haitian courts, on the grounds that it hadn't established an alternative mechanism for dealing with accountability issues, as stipulated in its agreement with the government.
There's evidence that infected Nepalese peacekeepers caused the epidemic by dumping untreated waste into a key river system, but the UN insists it's impossible to pinpoint blame definitively.
