COVID-19 outbreak on Ruby Princess 'not some accident', court told

ABC  

An outbreak of COVID-19 following a voyage of the Ruby Princess cruise ship was "not some accident" but was "very likely to happen" due to preceding events, a Sydney court has heard. Key points: The class action began two-and-a-half years after the Ruby Princess set sail About 660 passengers ended up testing positive for COVID-19 The class action alleges charter of the vessel and the owner operator breaches duties of care A class action lawsuit began on Wednesday in the Federal Court in Sydney, two-and-a-half years after the ill-fated trip. David McLure SC, representing Carnival and Princess, said his opponents have put the case on the basis the duties of care owed stemmed from "the relationship of occupier and entrant". The duties alleged against Carnival included the duty to "cancel the cruise to eliminate the risk", Mr McLure said in his opening address.
