In relation to the appeal for conducting a death inquest lodged by the deceased's family members of the vessel collision incident near Lamma Island on October 1, 2012, the Court of Appeal handed down its verdict today (July 26) with an order to conduct a death inquest.
A spokesman for the Transport and Logistics Bureau said, "We noted the Court's verdict and will render full co-operation to the death inquest."
As the case is sub judice, it is inappropriate for the Government to comment further on the relevant matters at this stage.
