UIA Appeal Finds in Favour of Families

The Ontario Court of Appeal has upheld the Ontario Superior Court ruling that Ukraine International Airlines (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 from 7 families represented by Thomson Rogers LLP.

The case against Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) provided 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 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 Craig Brown (retired) of Thomson Rogers were honoured to work on this trial with several other law firms, resulting in this important result. Learn more about the case: Landmark Trial Decision – Ontario Superior Court Rules In Favour of PS752 Victims
