Supreme Court Paves Way for Lawsuits Against Cuba Over Confiscated Properties from the Cuban Revolution
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The United States Supreme Court ruled on Thursday in favor of owners of Cuban properties confiscated by Fidel Castro's government more than 65 years ago. In an eight-to-one decision, the justices reopened lawsuits filed by the American company Havana Docks, which operated docks in Havana. The lawsuit targets four cruise lines that brought tourists to Cuba during the brief thaw in relations between the two nations under the Obama administration. Justice Clarence Thomas, speaking for the Supreme Court, stated that the Atlanta federal appeals court erred in dismissing the lawsuits, noting that 'the cruise lines used confiscated properties over which Havana Docks holds rightful ownership.'
