This might get very interesting!

Sikorsky has asked a federal judge to absolve it of any liability to Cougar Helicopters and a leasing affiliate of Lloyd’s, following the 2009 crash off Newfoundland of a Cougar helicopter built by Sikorsky that killed 17 people.


Sikorsky bases its case on technical terms of a 2004 contract that it says is binding on Lloyd’s and Cougar. Sikorsky also interprets U.S. maritime law to bar any lawsuit from Cougar.
