Families of victims of the 2012 Lamma ferry disaster in Hong Kong have withdrawn their application for a judicial review against a coroner's inquest findings. The decision, announced by High Court Judge Herbert Au-yeung Ho-wing on Wednesday, follows the denial of legal aid to the families.
The withdrawal brings an end to a prolonged legal battle spanning 14 years. The families had been seeking the judicial review to challenge the conclusions reached by the coroner regarding the deadly maritime disaster.
