Le­gal ac­tion is ad­vanc­ing against Paria Fu­el Trad­ing Com­pa­ny and Land and Ma­rine Con­tract­ing Ser­vices (LM­CS), de­spite the Gov­ern­ment’s $1 mil­lion ex gra­tia pay­ment to four fam­i­lies of the Paria div­ing tragedy, with some rel­a­tives pur­su­ing fur­ther com­pen­sa­tion.

Saira Lakhan, one of the at­tor­neys rep­re­sent­ing the fam­i­lies of Fyzal Kur­ban and Christo­pher Hen­ry, filed neg­li­gence claims in the High Court against both com­pa­nies in Feb­ru­ary.

The mat­ters are be­fore Jus­tices Christo­pher Sieuc­hand and Mar­cia Ay­ers-Cae­sar.
