Carnival found negligent in case stemming from cruise that led to early COVID outbreak

The federal court in Australia overseeing a class action case about a cruise by Carnival subsidiary Princess Cruises that experienced a COVID-19 outbreak has found Carnival "negligent." The judgment in the case Karpik v. Carnival plc, brought by lead plaintiff and cruise passenger Susan Karpik, came down Wednesday, with Justice Angus Stewart of the Federal Court of Australia summarizing it as well, roughly 10 months after the wrap-up of the initial trial.

Shine Lawyers, the firm for lawsuit’s plaintiffs, said in a press release that the Federal Court of Australia still needed to rule on whether nearly 700 Americans could be included in the class action. "While the judgment is a victory for Mrs. Karpik and other passengers, nothing will compensate or bring back the 28 people who contracted COVID on the cruise ship and passed away as a result," said Vicky Antzoulatos of Shine Lawyers.
