In this interesting paper, the authors investigate cohomogeneity-one actions on the \((n+1)\)-dimensional Minkowski space \(L^{n+1}\). The main contributions of the article are the following. 1. It is proved that there exist isometric cohomogeneity-one actions on \(L^{n+1}\), \(n \geq 3\), which are orbit-equivalent on the complement of an \(n\)-dimensional degenerate subspace \(W^n\) of \(L^{n+1}\) and not orbit-equivalent on \(W^n\). 2. All cohomogeneity-one actions on the Minkowski plane \(L^2\) are completely determined up to orbit-equivalence. 3. All cohomogeneity-one actions in the Minkowski space \(L^3\) are completely classified up to orbit-equivalence.
