Whether the single word 'acquires' in Section 6082(a)(4)(B) of the Helms-Burton Act bars trafficking actions by U.S. heirs who passively inherited claims to confiscated property

QUESTION PRESENTED Title ITI of the Helms-Burton Act, 22 U.S.C. § 6081 et seq., is a broad remedial statute that authorizes U.S. nationals whose property was confiscated by the Castro regime to assert trafficking claims against those who now unlawfully engage in commercial activity that benefits from confiscated Cuban property. The question presented is whether the single word “acquires” in Section 6082(a)(4)(B) of the Act bars trafficking actions by U.S. heirs who passively inherited claims to confiscated property during the 23 years between the Act’s passage in March 1996 and the lifting of the suspension of its private right of action in May 2019.
