The relatives of a dozen Chinese passengers, who were on board the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 flight, have filed a lawsuit against the company.

They appeared in court in Beijing today ahead of tomorrow's two-year anniversary of its disappearance.

International rules state any action against the firm has to be filed by tomorrow.

Over the weekend Australian authorities confirmed debris found in Mozambique is consistent with the missing Malaysia Airlines flight.

239 people were on the plane when it vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014.
