U.S. Supreme Court Rules 8-1 For Plaintiff, Havana Docks Corporation, In US$440 Million Lawsuit Against Four Cruise Lines

United States Supreme Court
Washington DC
21 May 2026

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.  Those arguments are not before us and we do not address them.  Accordingly, we vacate the judgment of the Court of Appeals and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.  It is so ordered.
