I womder if the Regulator (ie. CAA) will be sued? After all their apparent lacklustre procedures for civilian display requirements have already been found wanting and have undergone significant review.
Probably not as there would be no need. Under the provisions of the Civil Aviation Act s76(2) the owner of the aircraft is liable without proof of negligence for any damage caused to persons or property on the ground as a result of an aircraft in flight. As full damages are recoverable from the owner why would anyone want to sue the CAA?
