Over zealous prosecutors
Criminalisation is undermining the investigation process Broadening scope of the entities involved Piercing corporate veil Organisational failures are under the spotlight
Investigation regime must respect due process and uphold the non-punitive environment

Flawed regulatory regimes
Trend recognised by ICAO EU Regulation 966/2010 was a wasted opportunity
Right to legal representationCommunication of investigation information The accident report
