1. auto-trim moved the THS to up 13° while the PF was pulling up -- was the auto-trim movement a consequence of the PF's pulling up?

2. would a full down sidestick have had the authority to overcome the full up THS later on?

Those questions were already answered
It's YES for the 2 questions if the airplane was acting like it must be in alternate law
Pull up and the THS will go up
Pull down and the THS will go down
In the A320 Perpignan crash it seems that the sidestick couldn't overcome the fully deflected THS. How did you find out that in this case the pilots still had pitch control authority?

The report mentioned pitch down orders and the THS didn't seem to have moved.

Any clue about the THS position on the Afriqiyah A330 crashed in Tripoli?
