Now that Ryanair has elected to make these matter public ones, in public courts interesting it will be when the documents are disclosed in those proceedings.
Interesting and separate issues to note however is fact that England is paradise for suing people so much that New York and then some year later US Congress banned libel judgements from English courts from being enforce there (in NY and then whole of US).
When documents disclosed in proceeding court and evidence given all becomes public knowledge.
Make your predictions now discuss this big event in aviation history. Interesting one it is to take head on or tackle defamatory allegedly publications, rather than tackle perceived safety issues or public discussion thereof which is different issue entirely, by using court process in courts that US courts wont even recognize judgements from.
