Boeing has received its first lawsuit from the family of a victim of the Ethiopian Airlines disaster. The family of Rwandan citizen Jackson Musoni have filed a lawsuit in Indonesia federal court alleging the aircraft manufacturer had defectively designed the automated flight control system of the 737 Max and not provided warning of its problems. The latter fact could prove particularly costly to Boeing if it is deemed it had sufficient notice following the Lion Air crash in Chicago last October. Steven Marks, lawyer for Musoni’s family, said Boeing's approval process lacked appropriate rigour.
