France sued over Titanic artefacts

Files Suit0 Comments

Premier Exhibitions sues the French government, in a Florida federal bankruptcy court, to be allowed to sell some of thousands of artifacts salvaged from the Titanic. The company filed the suit to press the French government to clarify it has no interest in the artifacts that would prevent their sale.

A declaration of rights is both necessary and appropriate to establish that France does not have any interest in the French artifacts.
