As expected, TC asking for a stay, I don't think anybody yet has been sucessful with this request so is it best to agree? I will be using quotes from HHJPlatts. 2 witness's from their side including the solicitor but no experts, who could that be?
Has anyone overturned the stay?

Why don't you just ignore TC like they probably did to you? Neither agree or disagree, I'm sure that's an option.

Thanks I will have a look now.

TC know only too well about compressor/turbine and blade failure on their RR trent engines....

JPears, can you expand on this? I am curious if there is any evidence I could use about this. Thanks.

I would steer clear of specifics (presume you are not an aeronautical engineer) and just concentrate on the fact that the plane had a technical problem and technical problems with planes/cars/machinery are ordinary occurrences and not extraordinary.

I understand what you are saying, but the defence is claiming lightning strike and I know differently and have all the evidence. The defence has not given any evidence (at this stage) except they mention what somebody has supposedly seen.

I'm sure you must be aware, the airbus that had the engine blowout last June had had several other same engine issues in the preceding months

JPears, I am well aware of that incident and all the others related to G-OMYT, this however is the same sort of incident on take off back in 2011, different A330. Could they be related, engine swap? This is not in the public domain as yet.:D

Not really my place, but I would reiterate the advice that 111KAB offered earlier: unless you have technical expertise and access to all the information, I would be very careful in trying to construct the kind of case that I think you are building. You risk being deconstructed in court, and the points of law - which do favour you - being lost in the melee.

Vauban, I am not building a technical case around engineering, I have very, very, compelling evidence from official sources saying what the issue was, although the defence lawers do not know what I know if you see what I mean, they have not told me what the fault was only what they think it was according to what they have been told by TC, and TC have not told them the truth. I am rebuffing the claim of EC's based on a list of incidents for the court to be aware of the same issue with many airlines, over many years. The law on this is quite clear from wallentin on this issue as it was the same cause as in that case. I do not want at the stage to put cards on the table, this as you might say is the trump card for court and they will only know when I submit my documents. I know I would be torn to shreds by engineers if I go down that line, all I am doing is pointing out previous, in a list obtained from recorded incidents of this type, so it cannot under the meaning of the term be EC. In actual fact, I am using the arugument you posted on engine stalls, but first I need to rebuff what the defence have said as it is not true. It may be a long time anyway as they have asked for a stay pending Huzar. Thanks for the advice.

Very good Batman: only you can judge how best to play your case. My own strategy certainly evolved in response to developments from the other side ...
