Supreme Court OKs ExxonMobil lawsuit over Cuban property seized by Fidel Castro’s government
The Supreme Court ruled that ExxonMobil can sue Cuban state-owned companies in U.S. courts over property seized by Fidel Castro’s government. The 6-3 decision centers on the Helms-Burton Act, which allows lawsuits against entities benefiting from confiscated Cuban property. The Trump administration lifted a suspension on this provision in 2019, enabling ExxonMobil to pursue claims for assets seized from its predecessor, Standard Oil.
