If they do have an exemption then you would have expected them to possibly land overweight after considering all the factors.

If they don't, then you expect them to hold barring an emergency.

ACMS's answer indicated that an overweight landing is fine with the ONLY restriction being the touchdown ROD and any subsequent maintenance action required.

Therefore my question was designed to determine either:

1. They have one and there was some reason they didn't land overweight OR

2. They don't have one and there is possibly a lack of understanding by some about CAR 235(6).

Just because the Airbus aircraft have a QRH procedure for an overweight landing doesn't remove the requirements of CAR 235(6).

Nothing too exciting.
