The author re-considers a result of \textit{L. Hörmander} [J. Funct. Anal. 93, No. 2, 270--277 (1990; Zbl 0724.35060)], concerning a characteristic Cauchy problem for a class of wave equations on spatially compact space-times, with initial data on hypersurfaces that were weakly spacelike. The metric on the space-time and the first-order perturbation were assumed to be smooth. Here the author extends the result to a Lipschitz metric \(g^{jk}\), namely for the equation \(\partial^2_t u- g^{jk}\partial_j\partial_k u= 0\), with Einstein notation.
