Major Cruise Lines Are On The Hook After SCOTUS Rules They Illegally Used Cuban Port Seized Under Castro

This decision follows a history of legal disputes regarding property rights and compensation related to the Cuban government’s confiscation of U.S. properties.
- ▪The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in favor of the Havana Docks Corporation.
- ▪Major cruise lines owe $110 million each for using the docks without compensation.
- ▪The Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act allows U.S. citizens to seek compensation for confiscated property.
