It seems Sunfish has preempted my comment.

In answer to your query, anything on the public record that refers to or is material to the avation industry and the individuals who operate within it is available, including those named therein, to be referred to on PPRuNe with the obvious exceptions of libel, slander, innappropriate behaviour or of a pornographic nature.

It is a nonsense for us to "censor" publicly available court documents.

This, however, should not give license to gratuitous slagging or vilification of any individuals.

The actions of those mentioned can be judged on the publicly available evidence.

In this particular case it should be sufficient to point to the judges findings in the cases mentioned.

It is also a matter of natural justice that selective quotes without the context of the entire judgement may be prejudicial to the parties named.

For this reason we would prefer that the URL is published here, (as you did previously) rather than the whole schlemiel which takes up bandwidth and further requires us to check to see that it is all there.

If the readers can't be bothered to read the whole thing and get the whole story, then they do not have the right to comment on it.

We are not here to protect anyone beyond the aforementioned and within the bounds of PPRuNe rules.
