Re: [Aus-soaring] handing a bill

[Christopher Mc Donnell]

Thank God I was lucky enough to have had the protection of an Act of Parliament for any error I made in my professional advice/life. I don't think I ever made one as no complaint was ever made against me. Had a complaint been made against me it would have been far outweighed by the good I was able to do in all the other cases rather than have to act vacuously as organisations and individuals have to do in today's litigious society. I hope that was the Parliamentary wisdom in granting that waiver rather than the protection of the State purse.   Chris McDonnell ----- Original Message ----- From: Emilis Prelgauskas To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.
