Lawyers rejoice....!

Of specific mention: "Justice Murray said Mr Penberthy was a highly qualified pilot but there was an obligation for him to take steps that were designed to enable an aircraft to land safely."This he did not do," he said."
Hmmm! It might have helped if Justice Murray was put into the position Alex found himself in.

It is one thing to dissect these things with the benefit of hindsight sitting in an air-conditioned office and quite another when there's a sick aircraft heading for a set of power lines.

Unfortunately, this is going to go forever....and guess who's going to win?

Justice Murray described his decision as "a bit of a win for the plaintiffs".
No, Not the plaintiffs, ......only the lawyers who will still be sending their grandchildren to private schools on the benefits of this one.

The court case is still going on with a Shrike accident that occurred circa 1986.
