76 Liability of aircraft in respect of trespass, nuisance and surface damage.
(2)Subject to subsection (3) below, where material loss or damage is caused to any person or property on land or water by, or by a person in, or an article, animal or person falling from, an aircraft while in flight, taking off or landing, then unless the loss or damage was caused or contributed to by the negligence of the person by whom it was suffered, damages in respect of the loss or damage shall be recoverable without proof of negligence or intention or other cause of action, as if the loss or damage had been caused by the wilful act, neglect, or default of the owner of the aircraft.
Pretty much standard throughout the planet for any operator who is obliged to carry liability insurance. No "admission of guilt" at all.
Dare I say it but I think this thread should be renamed or another started "Dumb questions - Police helicopter crashes onto Glasgow pub"
