The plaintiffs in a lawsuit over the destruction of Ukrainian International Airlines Flight PS752 are trying to collect on a $107-million judgment issued against Iran last December by an Ontario court.
A victim’s relative mourns in Kyiv, Ukraine, during a commemorative ceremony marking the first anniversary of the downing of Ukraine International Airlines Flight PS752 downing in Iranian air space.Lawyer Mark Arnold, who is spearheading the lawsuit on behalf of several victims’ families, went to court Friday to argue the certificate should essentially be ruled invalid.
In a sometimes-acrimonious online hearing, Arnold rejected that position and questioned why Ottawa was defending Iranian assets from Canadians trying to enforce a court ruling. “Canada has credibility among its allies … partly because of its respect for the rule of law,” she said.
