Ruby Princess class action to commence in Federal Court of Australia this week

As reported here, mediation between Carnival Corp. & plc and Shine Lawyers last December was unsuccessful, sending the matter to trial this month.

The complaint

It is understood the lawyers will allege that the COVID-19 outbreak onboard the ship, which docked in Sydney on March 19 two years ago in the early stages of the pandemic, resulted from a failure to take appropriate measures to ensure passengers were safe and protected from contracting the virus.
