Notably:

"19. A helicopter manufacturer engaged by Bristow provided evidence that the transition period amounts to a ‘very compressed lead-time’ and that standard delivery terms for such helicopters would allow a period of ‘in excess of 20 months from order’ before the delivery of the helicopters."

"51. ... its helicopters are larger, have more cabin space and can fly a longer range without refuelling, than Bristow’s helicopters. ..."

"64. However, the fact that CHC can at one stage say that it is legally obliged to suspend the Service after 30th June, 2025 and so easily say that it is lawful for it to extend the Existing Contract after the 30th June, 2025, undermines the strength of its claim that it is lawful to extend the Existing Contract, when this Court is weighing up the balance of justice."
