CASA unable to Regulate

The latest court case regarding Aerotropics opens a can of worms for CASA and the government.

In regards to Aerotropics now flying again, who is responsible if they have an incident?

CASA, I think not as they tried to shut them down.
The Judge, I think not as they cannot be held reposnisble.
The Government, I think not because they have CASA in place as the regulator.

This puts CASA as an organisation into serious question as they cannot perform their regulatory obligations.

I can only see one outcome for CASA.

BB needs to inform the government that they cannot perform their function as a regulator and withdraw all delegations until the Aerotropics case has been finalised because they cannot operate with their hands tied behind their back.

At the moment, the court has rulled that NO ONE iIS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVIATION REGULATION.
