PETALING JAYA: An Illinois judge has dismissed a United States law firm's motion to obtain evidence of possible design and manufacturing defects from Boeing Co and Malaysia Airlines (MAS) in connection with the disappearance of flight MH370 three weeks earlier, Reuters reported.
Cook County Judge Kathy Flanagan also threatened to impose sanctions against Ribbeck Law Chartered, citing previous instances where the Chicago-based law firm had "improperly brought" petitions, such as last year's Asiana Airlines plane crash in San Francisco.
