RENUMERATION
Flying Lawyer, FNG and BEagle et al,
Many thanks for some very helpful information and clearly free legal advice. First point, I think amongst the legal profession there is understandably debate - that's one of the reasons we have a legal profession and ultimatey courts of law, is it not?
Second point, FNG you are a little harsh. Flying Lawyer was absolutely right I do not wish to cross the line, I also do not wish to even think of pinching CPL type work - I just wanted to know could I take some collegues airborne and split the cost - I am very grateful for the indepth information supplied.
Mike Cross, believe or not I do know how to use a dictionary (though with my spelling you can tell I don't bother to open it much) but as you can see I was not after the COD defintion of renumeration which you kindly supplied but the CAA/legal defintion and how that was applied - with no other reason than staying the right side of the CAA/law - as kindly explained by Flying Lawyer, FNG, BEagle.
I do not think is in the slightest bit unreasonable for a PPL to wish to stay the right side of the law (and of CPLs!) but seek to reduce costs to build hours - that is why I asked my original question.
Thank you to those of you have guided me to various publications and paragraph/schedules to read for myself. I have a MSc degree level education and considerable contract law experience so hopefully I can add the common sense element and find a way forward!
Cheers, Paul101
