7 months after the suspicious disappearance of a Malaysian Airlines flight, two children whose father was on the flight have filed a lawsuit against the airline and the government.
According to reports from the BBC, this is believed to be the first legal case filed in Malaysia since the incident on the 8th of March. The Flight MH370, from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, had 239 people on board when it disappeared.
The lawsuit accuses the civil aviation department of negligence for failing to contact the plane within a reasonable amount of time after it disappeared. Lawyers representing the two underage sons of passenger, Jee Jing Hang, filed the suit with the Kuala Lumpur High Court.
They are suing the national carrier for breach of contract, saying it failed to take all measures to ensure a safe flight. They are also suing civil aviation authorities, the immigration department and the air force for negligence.
In March a civil action case was brought in the US by a law firm on behalf of relatives. But a judge dismissed it, calling it an improper filing. But there is no explanation yet for what happened to the plane or caused it to stray so far off course. Despite extensive searches coordinated by Australian authorities, no wreckage of any kind has been found yet.
