A Swiss multinational building materials company and the heirs of a Cuban family who had property confiscated on the island after the 1959 revolution reached the first compensation agreement under a US law. Since 2019, it allows lawsuits against third parties who use this type of property.
This is the first resolution of a lawsuit under the so-called Title III of the Helms Burton Act of 1996 or the Liberty Act, which was activated by the Government of Donald Trump (2017-2021).
