That specific item is a flight control in a stall scenario.
It deserves a paragraph in Aircraft information 1.6 ... where is it ?
It requires also a full analysis of its operation during the event ... where is it ?

Incorrect. Autotrim is never inhibited or restricted directly (on the A330 at least), it is subject to the protection limits in the same way that autoflight or human pilot input is in Normal Law. Take away those protection limits (i.e. in any law below Normal) and any of the aircraft's controls (including trim) has full authority.
... that's what I say, you too need a good presentation on the THS operation ... Ask the BEA.
