The FACT that disputes catalogued in threads like this even exist is proof that CASA is a failed bureaucracy!!!
Some definition(s) of Bureaucracy:
WIKIPEDIA
Bureaucracy is the combined organizational structure, procedures, protocols, and set of regulations in place to manage activity, usually in large organizations. As opposed to adhocracy, it is often represented by standardized procedure (rule-following) that guides the execution of most or all processes within the body; formal division of powers; hierarchy; and relationships, intended to anticipate needs and improve efficiency.
MAX WEBER: ON BUREAUCRACY (refer John Kilcullen, Macquarie University)
'Bureaucracy' is rule conducted from a desk or office, i.e. by the preparation and dispatch of written documents - or, these days, their electronic equivalent.

1 a : a body of nonelective government officials b : an administrative policy-making group
2 : government characterized by specialization of functions, adherence to fixed rules, and a hierarchy of authority
3 : a system of administration marked by officialism, red tape, and proliferation.
The failure of CASA as a bureaucracy Sunfish is because it IS a bureaucracy, and one that regrettably seems to be totally divorced from the day-to-day realities of the aviation industry AND its need for an effective and responsive (responsible??) and capable regulatory authority that's overseen by an effective and responsive (responsible??) and capable Minister.
Wiki provides information that adhocracy is "any form of organization that cuts across normal bureaucratic lines to capture opportunities, solve problems, and get results". Maybe that's the direction in which CASA needs to head?

Indeed, and it should be a very interesting judgment. I wonder what the mob will do if the court finds the claims against the named officers to be without merit.
Good point, innocent till proved guilty and all that, but have you considered what the mob will do if the court finds the claims against the named officers ARE valid?
..and like Sunfish, I also say this in a caring and sharing manner in the hope that all of us will benefit.
