Supreme Court Weighs in 8-1 on Cuba-Tied Lawsuit
The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in favor of Havana Docks, allowing the company to seek damages from four cruise lines that used its docks confiscated by the Cuban government. Justice Clarence Thomas stated that the cruise lines' use of the docks was sufficient to establish liability for trafficking in confiscated property. This ruling reverses a previous decision by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals that denied the company's claim for damages.
