Supreme Court clears way for claims over Cuba-seized Havana port used by cruise lines

The Supreme Court, in an 8-1 decision, held that the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act allows Havana Docks Corporation to sue U.S. cruise lines for their use of the former Havana port confiscated by Cuba in 1960, potentially yielding hundreds of millions in liability; Justice Thomas wrote the majority, with Justices Sotomayor and Kavanaugh concurring and Justice Kagan dissenting. The ruling revives a 2019 dispute and could chill future Cuba-related business, coming as related Exxon Mobil v. Cimex awaits a decision.
