If that information is not given, it has to be the Pilot's fault for the subsequent excursion as they failed to make an accurate assessment of the conditions.
Whichever legal adviser (I can't believe it was actually a lawyer) came up with this concept hasn't a clue. It would be torn to shreds by a proper lawyer in court in two minutes.
