Eddie,
To my mind, the best explanation of Strict Liability and Absolute Liability can be found in Australian Law Reform Commission sources.
However, that is not an issue here.
Speaking of Absolute Liability, last time I looked most of the offenses under the various state "damages by aircraft" legislation is absolute liability, a sobering thought if you have a bingle, and don't have adequate insurance.
Despite now five pages on this thread, I am none the wiser as to what this poor sod did (if anything) that warrants a charge of recklessness.
Tootle pip!!
