South Supreme Airlines Ordered To Compensate Families Of The Victims Of The Plane Crash That Happened In Pieri Uror County By The High Court In Juba

Top Trending News Just For You To Read:


The families of the eight victims that succumbed to South Supreme Airlines In Pieri Town of Uror County will now receive a compensation from the Airline after Malakia High Court in Juba ordered for the compensations. 


Presiding Judge Ladu Jada during his final verdict found the Airline guilty of negligence under 17 of the Montreal Protocol.


Here is a quote from the Article: “The carrier is liable for damage sustained in case of death or bodily injury (emphasis added) of a passenger upon condition only that the accident which caused the death or injury took place on board the aircraft or in the course of any of the operations of embarking or disembarking.”


South Supreme Airlines at first refused to take blame for the deceased passengers, they claimed that the airline was not aware that they boarded the plane, then the high court requested the passenger manifest and it had the names of the victims. 


The Compensations Package includes $170,000 per victim of the plane crash and the airline was given 15 days to appeal the rulling, according to judge Ladu. 


Plaintiff Advocate Monyluak Alor Kuol while speaking to media after the rulling said the judgment was fair and a lesson to the other airlines. 


“It is very fair because it follows the requirements of the agreement that governs aviation internationally,” he said. “I hope the relevant authorities are listening to this because it is clear that there are so many rules and regulations that are not being observed which if enforced would hold airline operators accountable. Airline companies have to ensure that their planes are insured and regularly serviced.”-Monyluak said..


He further stated that: “We welcome this judgment and have waited for long and today we have proved that the laws exist.” 


Pieri Airstrip Manager, Mr. Yunais Yoal Kai, welcomed the Malakia High Court Ruling and said it has given peace to the victims families. 


“This ruling shows the independence of the judiciary in South Sudan. This ruling will ease the trauma of the families and ensure that companies maintain their aircraft because they are finishing people,” he said. “Although they say justice delayed is justice denied, today is different and we appreciate our lawyers, especially Molana Monyluak and his team, for their tireless efforts to see and follow this case through.” -Yunis Yoal said.
