Flipster you asked:

a. Is RAF senior management liable to this Act (as it is to the Health and Safety at Work Legislation)?

They answer is that the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 was not in force at the time of the loss of XV230 and therefore does not apply to this case, hence the seeking of a legal ruling under Article 2 Human rights Act.

Were such an incident to happen today and the MoD be found to have failed in their duty of care then yes it would apply.
