“Additionally, on December 20, 2021, the Eleventh Circuit, pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 29(a), invited the United States Government to file an amicus brief addressing a range of Helms-Burton Act issues in three related cases pending before the appellate court: (1) Mario Del Valle, et al., v. Trivago GMBH, et al., No. 20-12407, (2) Javier Garcia-Bengochea v. Carnival Corporation, No. 20-12960, and (3) Javier Garcia-Bengochea v. Royal Caribbean Cruises, LTD., No. 20-14251. Among other issues, the Eleventh Circuit invited the Government to address the nature of the lawful-travel exception, which is squarely implicated in Havana Docks’ cases against the four Defendants here as well. The Eleventh Circuit’s Order is attached as Exhibit A."
