Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court appeared skeptical of Cuban claims to land during two oral arguments last week in which U.S. companies were seeking to recover decades-old losses under a law targeting Cuba’s communist government.
The court heard arguments in Havana Docks v. Royal Caribbean Cruises and Exxon Mobil v. Corporacion Cimex. Both cases challenged laws that allowed U.S. citizens to bring lawsuits against anyone who trafficked in property that was confiscated by the Cuban government on or after Jan. 1, 1959.
