Four Applicants Seek to Quash Coroner's Findings on Lamma IV Ferry Watertight Door
Four individuals have applied to Hong Kong's High Court to quash the coroner's findings that a missing watertight door on the Lamma IV ferry was a deliberate design choice rather than an oversight. The application, filed without lawyers on Wednesday, also seeks a fresh inquest on this issue. Thirty-nine people died when the Lamma IV was struck by the catamaran Sea Smooth near Lamma Island on October 1, 2012, during a trip to watch National Day fireworks.
