I understand the QPS witness (initial investigator) stated at the inquest that CASA had been of considerable assistance to him in his investigations until early 2009 when that assistance suddenly dried up........ He opined that this may have been because CASA was becoming exposed legally!

Part of CASA's Counsel's response was to state that CASA was only obliged to assist the ATSB (TB: who were not investigating the accident!) and not the QPS.


Another interesting fact raised at the inquest was that (pre-accident) the CASA investigator sent a copy of the ambulance report from the 2003 seizure at BH's home to CASA's AvMed people to deal with. Later he queried the outcome he was told it was not a matter for his investigation, and he needed to get BH's permission to find out what the outcome was!
