Kent Air Ambulance pilot cleared

[Flying Lawyer]

To date, I've found out the following:

The pilot's widow sued Kent Air Ambulance (in practice, its insurers) under employers' liability legislation, alleging the crash was caused by mechanical failure, and claiming damages for herself and on behalf of her children.
Kent AA/insurers denied the claim, arguing no evidence of mechanical failure so it must have been pilot error.
The lady won.

The case was heard at the High Court in Liverpool, not Manchester as per the report. (Venue changed day before the case started.)

I hope to find out more very soon, and shall post again when I do.
