"A person must not recklessly or negligently cause or permit an aircraft an aircraft to endanger any person or property"
Aviation law currently blocks Sussex Police access to some Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) material relating to the crash, last August. The Police force is required to take the transport secretary to court so the material can be released.
Det Ch Insp Paul Rymarz (leading the investigation), said: "The application is to enable Sussex Police to obtain access to legally protected material including cockpit recorders and footage, expert reports and some documentation." In march he told a pre-inquest hearing in March their inquiry "cannot progress effectively" until the High Court issues its ruling, in a hearing scheduled for 14 and 15 July.
Without this material "key evidence is missing and experts are not in a position to provide interpretations".
