Never Too Young To Sue

Eight-year-Old Sues Airline For Overcharging  

Proving that one can never be to young to sue, an 8-year-old Chinese boy is putting one of his country's airlines through the legal ringer. Lu Zhenyuan bought a ticket from China Eastern Airlines for travel to the southwestern city of Kunming during January's Lunar New Year festival. Qianlong state media reports he was forced to pay full price, as the carrier claimed he did not look young enough to merit an airfare discount.

It was only when he was airborne that he looked at the back of his ticket to discover that he was entitled to a 50 percent discount. Realizing nothing could be done at that point, the child decided to continue on quietly to his destination, while formulating a plan of compensation. The legally savvy youngster has now decided to sue China Eastern as well as a Ningbo travel agency, asking for compensation and a public apology in a local newspaper, the report said.
