Court dismisses bid to strike out MH370 suit
A Malaysian court has dismissed a bid by Malaysia Airlines to throw out a suit filed by relatives of 3 passengers who went missing on flight MH370, opening the way for other relatives to sue the airline. More than 50 suits have been filed in the Malaysian courts over the plane's disappearance, while others have been filed in the US, Australia, and China. The Kuala Lumpur High Court ruling is likely to come as a relief for relatives, many of whom had feared they would not be able to get compensation from MAS after it transferred all its assets and operations to MAB in a restructuring exercise last year. MAB had argued that it had no liability as it was set up 8 months after the aircraft disappeared. But the court did not accept that, instead ruling that MAB's liability would be determined in a trial. <br/>
