SCOTUS Revives Havana Docks Damages Case Against Major Cruise Lines
The U.S. Supreme Court revived a damages suit against major cruise lines for mooring at Havana docks confiscated by Cuba in 1960, allowing the Havana Docks Corporation’s claims to proceed. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the 8-1 majority; the ruling lets the case move forward under a 1996 law that permits suits over seized property, while Justice Elena Kagan dissented.
