Finally, our last case was filed Sunday, May 2, on the two-year anniversary of Title III’s implementation. Francisco Industries, Inc., the plaintiff, claims to have owned a thriving international sugar business prior to the Cuban government’s confiscation; that business was subsequently certified for $53.4 million.

ASR Group has yet to respond, but both parties will surely be following the factually similar cases brought by American Sugar.
