U.S. Supreme Court Rules For Havana Docks Corporation Against Cruise Lines
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled 8-1 for Plaintiff, Havana Docks Corporation, in a $440 million lawsuit against four key cruise operators.
“We conclude that the cruise lines used confiscated property to which Havana Docks owns the claim. Because the Court of Appeals concluded otherwise, it did not reach the cruise lines’ remaining arguments against liability,” the court wrote in its opinion.
The justices set aside a lower court’s decision to throw out the judgments against Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean Group, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings and MSC Cruises.
