In 2007, Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. found a shipwreck of the Spanish Royal Navy Frigate Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes, loaded with many tonnes of coins. Odyssey filed an in rem action in the United States federal court to get legal title to the shipwreck and the coins, but the court found that they did not have the jurisdiction to decide the case according to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. As a result, the Mercedes and its cargo were given over to the custody of Spain.No publisherAct of StateOwnership/propriétéJudicial decision/décision judiciairePeru/PérouJudicial claim/action en justiceState immunity/immunité des EtatsRequest denied/rejet de la demandeAnti-seizure legislation/garantie de restitutionArchaeological object/objet archéologiqueSpain/EspagneUnconditional restitution/restitution sans conditionColonialism/colonialismeOdyssey Marine ExplorationJurisdiction/conflit de jurisdictionUnited States/États-UnisPost 1970 restitution claims/demandes de restitution post 19702015/12/08 15:30:00 GMT+1Page
