I find that the Daily Mail has better reporting than the vast majority of the main-stream press. They have way better information on information on stories in my own hometown than the local media outlets, which should be downright embarrassing to the local media.

These civil procedure questions have long confounded 1Ls in law school. There is the question of whether any particular court has 1) subject matter jurisdiction, 2) personal jurisdiction over the defendant, 3) whether the forum is appropriate even if it has jurisdiction, and 4) which law...

Again, that's jurisdiction dependent. In my state, we have a statutory wrongful death claim that is the sole remedy. It only permits the personal representative to bring the claim. There is no personal cause of action for the spouse or the dependents, and the spouse and/or the dependents...

Fair point.

A) that is different that is a different point than I was responding to, and B) what you say is going to depend on the jurisdiction. C) the decedent's assumption of the risk can absolutely be a defense against the estate's claim in some jurisdictions, even if the estate's claim is not...

The release was pretty clear. Were I a jury member, absent some evidence of fraud, I would find that they passengers knew and assumed the risk. The stuff people are posting shows they were pretty straightforward regarding their engineering and construction techniques.

Man, we haven't had a good Wagner thread in a long time. :(

Proof that we all are just living in the Matrix.

No.

I say go for it. I did my private in a DA-20, and loved it. I think it would be fine to do your IFR in. As others above have said, it's not IFR due to the lack of lightning protection, but that doesn't stop you from training in it, or even flying IFR in VMC.

You say that, but are you sure?

Did you ask him how much he received to cover the costs of the meals? I think this is a pretty standard form of "compensation" for sheriffs. They receive X amount to pay for meals, and if they spend only Y amount, they get to personally pocket X-Y. Needless to say, many tend to be bargain...

I have seen it happen for over $200,000 in work.
