Why the yacht "Sasha I" remains in Palma — a reality check

Answer

What counts as proof of ownership in international yacht disputes?

Proof must show the genuine economic reality of ownership, not merely notarized documents from other countries. Courts look for evidence of control, benefit, and links in complex corporate or financial structures, which can include trusts or offshore networks. Such evidence is often difficult to verify and can influence the outcome.
