One wonders how many hearings before judges it'll take for the MoD to right this wrong. After all, of the HoL Committee only Lord Hooson wasn't a lawyer and of the other 4, as far as I can see, Lord Bowness was the only one not to have served as a judge. Add Sir Stephen Young of the FAI and that's 4 judges to nil who have heard the case have decided against the opinions of Day and Wratten.
Really the MoD alone now stands by its Gross Negligence opinion (finding has been shown by subsequent enquiries to be far too strong a word to apply in this case). Nationally and internationally, the MoD is looking at best rather silly and at worst like a Kafkaesque bureaucracy trying (and failing) to cover its own six. Had they relented after the HoL Enquiry, that would have been an end to the matter. I suspect their prolonged pig-headedness will result in enquiries reaching the parts the MoD would would rather had not been reached.
