SCOTUS to hear arguments on Cuba seized property cases involving Exxon and cruise lines

SCOTUS to hear arguments on Cuba seized property cases involving Exxon and cruise lines

The Supreme Court is hearing arguments on Monday regarding the Helms-Burton Act. This law allows lawsuits over property confiscated by the Cuban government. ExxonMobil is seeking over $1 billion in compensation for oil and gas assets seized in 1960. The key issue is whether Cuban state-owned entities can claim sovereign immunity to block the suit. There is also a case involving Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian Cruise Line. They were sued for using docks that were seized from a US company. A lower court previously hit them with judgments over $100 million, but those were thrown out on appeal. The Supreme Court will now decide if these lawsuits can move forward.
