The article that appeared in Pilot was by Stephan Wilkinson and I think had also appeared in an American magazine. Sorry, my copy is also buried somewhere, but I will see if I can unearth it.
NR Fairy, you are right - if I remember correctly, one of the issues raised in the article above was that cases such as this (and not just aviation) should not be held before a lay jury who may find the technicalities incomprehensible.
