Aviation Bulletin - May 2013 Edition
Welcome to all our readers for this May 2013 edition of the HWL Ebsworth Aviation Bulletin.
In this May Bulletin, we pin down "High Flying Criminals" and answer the question of what laws apply to criminal acts committed on board an aircraft.
From a New South Wales perspective, we look at the recent NSW District Court decision in
Campbell v Hay [2013] NSWDC 11, and whether flying a light aircraft is a "dangerous recreational activity" pursuant to Section 5L of the
Civil Liability Act 2002
(NSW).
We review the recent Victorian Supreme Court decision in All Covers Accessories v Sidowi
[2012] VSC 48, and the implications for MRO operators.
In Queensland, we take a look at the QLD District Court decision in Walker-Eyre v Emirates
[2012] QDC 364 which found that a claim for damages for personal injuries under the
Civil Aviation (Carriers' Liability) Act 1959
(Cth) is not subject to the pre-litigation provisions of the Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002
(Qld).
We also examine the exemption granted to Foreign Aircraft AOC holders from the CASA Drug and Alcohol Management Plan (DAMP) requirements, and assess what foreign carriers are required to do to be granted an exemption.
