Roving is right about the QC. My opinion is that M-B were not served very well by their solicitors.
It is also my opinion that any law firm ostensibly specialising in health and safety, and representing a military aviation firm, should ensure their solicitors have at least heard of the Nimrod Review. If they have not, one can put very little of the evidence in this case in context. That gave me a sinking feeling at the time. I'm glad a good friend was there to witness it, because no one would believe it.
Well said airsound.
