BOAC
Your interpretation of his Lordships position is, in my opinion, incorrect.
Try
House of Lords debates: House of Commons and House of Lords (TheyWorkForYou.com) - House of Lords debates - Tuesday 5 November 2002. Chinook Select Committee Report.
Regarding the findings of the AOC and AOC in C His Lordship stated:
"To my mind, it is not only perfectly justifiable, but it is only proper, that such a serious breach of the rules for visual flight shoud be regarded as negligent, and, under the terms of such a report being produced at that time, considered to be grossly negligent. If those rules had not been breached, there is no doubt that the accident would not have happened."
I totally agree with those sentiments.
