Folks,
I am personally aware of details of two cases where CASA was beaten, and made substantial payouts, both case involved major legal efforts, but the aggrieved had that support --- but they were not self financed.
In one of the cases, an improperly cancelled CAR 30 approval, the confidential settlement was a seven figure sum plus indemnity costs.
Sadly, I know of proportionately more where seven figure sums in legals have been accumulated, and CASA won ---- but these were at the AAT, not a real court.
My subjective memory tells me that CASA often does not fare will in a proper court, with fixed and known rules of evidence.
It also tells me that, with one exception, the individuals never worked in the aviation industry again.
Tootle pip!!
