In this final judgement the High Court has quite clearly confirmed a previous judgement nominating “sound commercial reasons” for the QF outsourcing decision. It has also identified what they say is “substantial and operative reasons” etc as above as their explanation for their final verdict against QF. That verdict quite clearly indicates that all similar future company attempts at restructuring or similar are doomed to failure because of the “Act” itself and so in this regard a serious reassessment of the practical validity of the “Act” must be undertaken and soon. Considering this, did QF act illegally or were their actions a procedural oversight resulting from an obtuse “Act”. I believe that their Lordships should have addressed that point but then they only prescribe the law.

Unending quality problems. Stalled production lines. And of course the MAX disaster.
