I just wonder.........

Could the fact that legal proceedings have been initiated against MoD for this incident have any bearing on the 'need' to find the captain culpably negligent or similar. Was it not the case that the crew/captain of the Mull of Kintyre Chinook being 'declared' culpably negligent by the VSOs that got MoD off the hook as far as claims by the families involved and pushed them towards the estates of said crew?
I'm not condoning the actions of the captain in this case in any way (although I do not know anything about Voyager operations or SOPs), and I may not even be right about the legal side, but ...........
