Subject: RE: BS: Missing French plane
The quantum of damages if any will involve interesting jurisdictional battles. Under English law a "wrongful death" claim is statutorily limited to £10,000. I ahve no idea of the French or Brazilian situations but I expect that international conventions limit carrier liability to a pretty nominal figure. I see no immediate nexus to US law or jurisdiction.
