If they want potential punters to buy Perinis, methinks that this is not a good way of going about trying to increase their sales figures.
Surely there will be a huge backlash at their sheer audacity?

The way the boss of The Italian Sea Group was going after the captain and the crew the day after the tragedy before any of the facts were known says all you need to know.
I’d say a Perini was already a difficult sell even before this latest intervention.
I hope that he loses this case and ends up saddled with massive legal bills.

I'm reminded of someone else who tends to launch multi-million lawsuits when things don't go his way.
I can't imagine a universe where I'd be in the market for one of their products but, if it did happen, they wouldn't make it onto the list with that trick

Desperation from the idiot who runs The Italian Sea Group. Strangely enough not had any Perini Navi orders since the tragedy in August 2024.

I was amused to note that the lawsuit was filed in Sicily, which I associate with being made an offer that cannot be refused (though maybe that is a misunderstanding...)
This seems to be a reporting error: "... the company that owns the €34m (c. $534m) yacht".

Sueing your customers for failing to understand the fatal consequences of using your products seems counter productive to me, too.

Has the final report from the investigation into the sinking been published yet? I would hope that any court would want to hear that before apportioning blame.

Not sure about other jurisdictions but MAIB reports aren’t for the (UK) court’s use

You mean they are not allowed to be taken into account? That would be an incredible blinkering!

I thought that, although the dollar did nose dive this week I don’t think it was quite that bad!

By law they are inadmissible

It strikes me that the owner made fortune with the Baysean formule wich, as I believe, is about the chances of anything happening. His software calculates stock relaxed risks.
I think he didn't calculate the risks of anchoring his yacht.
Probably there is a plot for a good book in that.

I expect he thought that the risk of anchoring his yacht had been calculated by the designers.

His co defendant in the criminal case, died via a road accident whilst running the same day (but earlier, withat news the mood on the yacht was sombre & no drinking). Chance of happening same day has been quoted as 4 in a billion.
Mike Lynch and Steve Chamberlain were given a 0.4% chance of being found not guilty in the SF criminal case, following the CFO's conviction & losing the civil case here, but were cleared.
Mike Lynch made most decisions according to the Bayes theorem.
Just finished reading "The Curious Case of Mike Lynch" by Katie Prescott, really good book.

Yes, that text is in all MAIB reports, I think it (or something very similar) pretty much always has been?
However...such reports make an excellent guidebook/roadmap for lawyers though...they just need to do their own legwork. Until goalposts moved, fairly recently, you could be reasonably sure that MAIB reports would be published before such matters came to court.
