Canadian lawyers file lawsuit against Iran over victims of downed Ukrainian plane

Photographs of the victims of the Ukraine International Airline crash are placed by a makeshift memorial at Mel Lastman Square on Jan. 9, 2020.Canadian lawyers, who previously successfully sued Iran, are seeking class action status in a lawsuit on behalf of victims aboard a Ukrainian plane shot down over Tehran last month, looking for at least C$1.5 billion in compensation.Iran admitted its missiles downed the Ukrainian airliner by mistake on Jan.

Jonah Arnold is co-lead counsel with his father Mark Arnold, who has represented clients in several suits against Iran, including a 2017 appeal decision that led to seizure of some Iranian assets in Canada. It was not clear whether Iran has any assets remaining in Canada. Arnold said the case would likely unfold over years, and any judgment could be renewed and enforced in the future.“Providing a voice for the families and seeking compensation for them in the courts is the primary objective,” Jonah Arnold said. “When we get there, and we need to look for those assets, that’s what we’ll do.”

Foreign states are not typically within the jurisdiction of Canadian courts. A 2012 Canadian law limited that immunity for countries Ottawa lists as “foreign state supporters of terrorism,” currently Iran and Syria.

Great news because once again Sunny ways and his dysfunctional Cabinet have failed to provide a positive outcome for the families and the deceased!

Iran isn't responsible - we will never forget that Trump - and every last Republican supporting him - are responsible... his lies... his b.s. ...just because mainstream is desperate to support their corrupt leaders doesn't mean we've lost our morality or sense of justice. iran

What a firm justice response. The libs said if trump didn’t stop them from killing people they wouldn’t have killed people. I’m sure they’re terrified of the terrorist sympathizer who’s brother was out of nowhere recognized by them as a movie director and paid to make “movies”🤣

I hope Donald Trump is named in the statement of claim.

They should eventually file it also against the impeached..
