A lawsuit has multiple purposes. For one documents are treated as evidence, but a lawsuit also leads to less information presented to the public and organisations involved refusing to give hints on why it go so terribly wrong - they could be sued themselves.

I think there is a very good reason, why ICAO Annex 13 is not about issuing blame, but about identification of the causes.

Withheld info is also now a criminal act .
Only as long as you are not an accused party in this case - which are now most of the "main players".
