Shunter - just to state my position I am now a member of the group challenging the CAA via their internal appeal process. As a group we are well aware of this recent legal precedent and have factored it into our legal planning and strategy.
We are still hoping that CAA / EASA will see that urgent change to regulations is required and take the initiative themselves but if not we have a very solid legal basis to force change via the courts if necessary.
Once again I urge all affected pilots to lodge an appeal via the internal CAA appeals process as a first action.
