Landmark Trial Decision – Ontario Superior Court Rules In Favour of PS752 Victims

The case against Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) has successfully concluded, bringing justice to the families of those who tragically lost their lives on flight PS752. The Ontario Superior Court has ruled that UIA was negligent in allowing PS752 to depart Tehran on January 8, 2020. The airline’s decision tragically led to the death of all 176 passengers on board, including victims represented by Thomson Rogers.

The Court’s decision today provides some answers to the families and ensures that UIA will be required to provide full compensation to the victims. This decision will also hopefully be the impetus for airlines around the world to always ensure that the safety and security of their passengers and crews are at the forefront of their decision-making in conflict zones.

Stephen Birman, Lucy Jackson and the recently retired Craig Brown of Thomson Rogers were honoured to work on this trial with several other law firms who contributed to this important result, including Blaney McMurtry, Gluckstein Lawyers, Rochon Genova, Howie Sacks and Henry, Camp Fiorante Mathews, and TWA Law.
