The first test cases have been filed and as the context of the legislation comes more into focus more and more will spring up...
especially the crafting of the EXXON case will be very important that fact that Cuba has decided to show up is huge and I feel they must have something significant to lose or that can be attached to for repayment otherwise they would have just ignored it IMO....

Time is not an issue for me as the meter is constantly running at a rate of 6% per year value at the time of taking plus trebling make it extremely valuable

There is also the very critical issue of damages. To summarize, damages can be as high as three times the greater of (1) the value of the property when confiscated, plus interest at the weekly average one-year Treasury bill; and (2) the current value of the property; plus, in either case (1) or (2), legal fees and costs.

In the case of (1), interest compounds annually and accrues from the date the property was confiscated until the date the lawsuit is filed. Most of the property at issue was confiscated in the 1960s, so cumulative interest could be high.

In this Example Plaintiffs are seeking 100X the original amount
$7.8 million now valued at $792 Million WOW!

The plaintiffs said they own a claim to 10.5% of the equity in Banco Nacional de Cuba, roughly the percentage that Banco Nuñez represented when it was seized. Lawyers for the plaintiffs at Kozyak Tropin & Throckmorton based the $792 million damages estimate on Banco Nuñez’s $7.8 million worth at the time, plus 6% annual interest and triple damages under the Helms-Burton Act, a 1996 federal law.
