The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that a U.S. company can recover damages from cruise lines that used docks confiscated by Cuba.Summary
The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in favor of Havana Docks, a U.S. company, allowing it to recover damages from four major cruise lines for using docks previously confiscated by the Cuban government. The court determined that the cruise lines' use of the docks was sufficient to establish liability, rejecting the argument that the company's legal right to the docks would have expired. Justice Elena Kagan dissented. The ruling reverses an 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision that had previously prevented the company from recovering damages.
