Yes Mr. Griffiths was a shareholder of Barrier, Yes he was a deputy chairman on the board of CAA, Yes that CAN be seen as a conflict of interest, however in his position on the board he had NO say on what happened to competing airlines. Fact of the matter is CAA found issues with tech logs and could no longer trust the state of Sunairs fleet.

How Griffith would think that his knowledge of the case would not put him in a conflict of interest situation when he owns a major share in a competing small airline is beyond belief.
