A lawsuit against Carnival Corp. stemming from the Costa Concordia tragedy was dismissed Sept. 28 in Florida, with the judge agreeing it should be refiled in Italy, the Associated Press reported. About 1,000 businesses on the island of Giglio, where the Costa ship capsized, moved to sue Carnival in Miami, where it is headquartered, instead of Italy, where Costa is based. It is easier to get compensation for emotional distress in the U.S., while Italian law limits such awards. Several lawsuits filed on behalf of passengers are still pending in the U.S. Carnival also wants the passenger cases shifted to Italy, AP reported.
