A point that you should be aware of is that LASORS has never had any legal status, it has always been a guidance document. The underlying rules have been JAR-FCL Part 1 (not law in the UK) and now Part FCL Regulation 1178/2011 (EU Law). Even CAP 804 is not a legal document, it reiterates other rules which it muddles with policy and guidance.
Sadly, this shambolic mess has come about by allowing people with no relevant knowledge or experience to play about with rules they clearly don't understand.
