There are two aspects to this:

1. Who is liable for the curtailment of MK's involvement in the rally assuming that that is due to the "mismatch of expectations" discussed earlier? As I see it, that's a simple contractual issue as suggested in my earlier post.

2. Does MK have insurance to cover his health issues and, if so, what if anything does it cover beyond immediate treatment and / or repatriation?

These look to be quite separate issues because MK seems to have "left" the rally before he was injured.

Whatever the legalities, though, I just hope he makes it out OK.
I agree re getting him out safely. That should be his priority.
I tried hard to help him when he first "landed" in S Sudan, by seeking the assistace of some well placed contacts, and we all gave him the same advice. Alas he is still in Juba expecting the receipt of spare parts in order to put a badly(?) damaged Cub back in the air, which seemingly was not very serviceable in the first instance! I haven't a clue how the LAA or the CAA might view the aircraft issues.
