Interesting.
For many many years our ( large european AOC) outfit designed and published it's own checklists, usually after due consultation with the manufacturers.
We have very recently gone over, or are in the process of going over to only using the manufacturer's checklists and procedures.
One of the reasons given for the change was that the operator could be held liable if there was an incident or accident where an operator's designed checklist was deemed to be a contributory factor.
