A High Court has ordered Malaysia Airlines to respond to the civil suit filed by the next-of-kin of 6 MAS crew members on board the ill-fated Flight MH17 over claims of breach of contract and negligence. Its deputy registrar directed Malaysian Airline System (MAS) and Malaysia Airlines (MAB), named as defendants in the civil action, to file their respective statements of defence by July 27. The next-of-kin of the crew members had June 2 sued MAS and MAB for alleged negligence and breach of contract. The plaintiffs said MAS and its successor were liable under the Montreal Convention 1999 for the injuries and death of their family members.
