British banker Robert Ebert is seeking to sue the sports car manufacturer Ferrari after serving a jail term in Hong Kong linked to a fatal road incident in 2015. The reports say Ebert was convicted of causing death by dangerous driving following the death of a security guard, Ku Lap-chi, after Ebert was driving a Ferrari 458 Spider in Hong Kong. The incident occurred in June 2015 while Ebert was reportedly driving to work. According to the account, Ebert says the car’s brakes “failed,” and he attributes the crash to mechanical or vehicle-related problems. After being convicted, Ebert was jailed in Hong Kong for about a year. In launching the legal bid, he is now aiming to pursue claims against Ferrari connected to the circumstances of the fatal crash. The available summaries focus on the conviction, the jail sentence, the vehicle model, the timing and location of the incident, and Ebert’s assertion that brake failure played a role in what he characterizes as an accident.
