What is Odyssey’s opinion of Spain´s legal position?
What is Odyssey’s opinion of Spain´s legal position? ¿Cuál es la opinión de Odyssey en relación a la postura legal de España con respecto al “Tesoro de La Mercedes“? Les traigo aquí una de las preguntas que Odyssey ha presentado en su documento “Q & A following Spain´s Motion to Dismiss on September 22, 2008″ que, hace días, desde la dirección de comunicación de Odyssey Marine Exploration envío a este editor.
This filling was expected based upon Spain´s previous assertions that the U.S. Court does not have jurisdiction in the “Black Swan” case. Magistrate Pizzo requested that Spain file a motion justifying its position in the matter. Spain argues that the FSIA applies to defeat jurisdiction in this case.
Upon our initial review of the 36 - page motion and its attachments of over 850 pages, it appears that the legal arguments presented have missed some of the most important factors in the case, including the fact that the ship that Spain asserts was the source of the coins was loaded with commercial cargo and that the cargo primarly belonged to merchants - facts that we believe would prevent a claim of sovereign inmunity.
In additiion, for the court to entertain Spain’s argument, logic would dictate that it would have accept jurisdiction to review the evidence. In any case, we believe that the court has jurisdiction over the “Black Swan” coins that have been recovered by Odyssey, all of which were legally and properly brought before the court for adjudication.
Es su opinión y por eso este editor la trae aquí. It’s their opinion.
