Havana Docks Corp. v. Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. · ¶6

We disagree. The Act generally makes those who use property tainted by a past confscation liable to any United States national who owns a claim to that property. Havana Docks did not have to prove that the cruise lines interfered with a property interest that would have existed in the counterfactual scenario in which the Cuban Government did not confscate it. Instead, Havana Docks had to prove only that the cruise lines used confscated property—such as the docks—to which Havana Docks owns a claim. We therefore vacate the Court of Appeals' decision.
