At Oshkosh, liability was the number one topic for EAA and everyone in the sport aircraft business. EAA's insurance for the convention increased by 300% over last year and they were not able to obtain as much coverage. If this trend continues, and there is no reason that it won't, next year's convention will be the last. | In our own current fight against injustice an update: Your contributions to out legal defense fund have made our appeal possible. Without your help we could not have done it. We won’t forget it either. All briefs have now been filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. We should have oral arguments scheduled within 60 days or less. The three judge panel will rule sometime after that (4-6 months is our best guess). How does it look? We feel, as do our attorneys, that we will win a new trial because of gross errors either allowed or committed by the judge. Assuming we do win a new trial, it will be conducted under instructions from the Appellate court so that the same mistakes are not permitted. The plaintif may give up if we win our appeal instead of going through the expense of a second trial. His attorney was quoted in "Western Flyer" as not expecting to ever receive a nickel. Keep thinking that way. | Under current conditions (Chapter 11) Quickie has been profitable and sales appear to be good. But the court has not allowed any company funds in pursuit of our appeal. Your continued support is needed as our legal defense fund is depleted. If you want to see injustice reversed, please help. In the long run all of sport aviation will benefit. Please make all checks payable to: Ayscough & Marar Attorneys At Law 22330 Hawthorne Blvd., Suite 217 Torrance, CA 90505 We have at Mojave, a complete transcript of the trial as well as copies of the appellate brief. Anyone who wishes to stop in and review them is more than welcome, but bring your lunch, as it’s about 7 inches thick! Some of the largest contributors have been some of our competitors - they know what is at stake here. If you have any questions, please call and discuss it with Gene. |
