The above-cited Reuters article contains pictures of the alleged defects - which are characterized as cracks that reveal the aircraft's lightning protection mesh covering. Airbus claims that this is not an air-worthiness issue - but is simply cosmetic. Perhaps the "legal assessment" is looking into possible legal action against Qatar for continuing to alleged the aircraft are not airworthy? Action for slander? That's this lawyer's guess.

Cosmetic defect sure looks bad.
