The article published in the Kommersant newspaper

A major article titled “A Recurrence in Egyptian Terror Attacks” was recently published in Kommersant newspaper, highlighting a turning point in the legal proceedings concerning the A310 plane crash over the Sinai Peninsula. After years of legal struggle, justice is finally within reach for the families of the victims. Lawyers from DTK Partners succeeded in stopping the legal confusion caused for years by the defendants — the airline Kogalymavia and the insurance company Ingosstrakh.

Defendants Obstructed the Rights of Victims’ Families

Throughout the entire legal process, Kogalymavia and Ingosstrakh repeatedly attempted to mislead the court by disputing even obvious facts — from the presence of victims on board to the verification of family relationships with the plaintiffs. These groundless objections significantly delayed the case and made it harder for families to obtain fair financial compensation.

Egyptian Court of Cassation Overturns Appeal Ruling

Despite strong resistance from the defendants, justice was restored. The Egyptian Court of Cassation overturned the appellate court’s decision and sent the case back for retrial. This is a crucial step, as the new hearing will focus exclusively on determining the amount of compensation due to the plaintiffs.

Legal Practice and Social Justice in Egyptian Courts

Given that Kogalymavia and Ingosstrakh are considered foreign legal entities under the Egyptian court system, the plaintiffs’ chances have significantly improved. Egyptian courts tend to rely on principles of social justice, which increases the likelihood of awarding the maximum possible compensation. Judges typically base decisions on clear facts rather than complex legal technicalities.

A Legal Case of International Importance

This legal proceeding holds great significance not only for the specific families involved but also for the global legal community. It reaffirms that the rights of victims must be protected regardless of borders or citizenship. A successful outcome in this case sets an international legal precedent for securing financial compensation after aviation disasters.

DTK Partners Continues the Fight for Compensation

The legal team at DTK Partners remains committed to pursuing full compensation for the families. We are confident that the Egyptian court will issue a lawful and fair decision. The A310 plane crash victims’ relatives deserve a full legal victory. This outcome will mark an important step toward restoring justice and resolving a long-standing legal struggle.
