UK Aviation Compensation Research

I need a concise but authoritative piece of legal research on UK aviation law, drilling into passenger rights and compensation when death, personal injury or baggage loss occurs. Please limit the analysis to the United Kingdom framework, including how international instruments such as the Montreal Convention 1999,EU Regulation 261/2004 now operate post-Brexit under retained UK law.

Your brief:
*Trace the detailed historical development of UK Aviation Compensation Legal Regime
• Map out the current statutory and regulatory basis for carrier liability, caps on damages and the procedures a claimant must follow.
• Highlight at least five recent UK cases that illustrate how courts interpret or quantify compensation in these circumstances.
• Compare civil liability rules with any criminal or regulatory enforcement routes that may run in parallel.
• Finish with a practical checklist a practitioner could give to passengers outlining time limits, evidential requirements and the forum in which to issue proceedings.

Please reference primary legislation, statutory instruments, relevant CAA guidance and authoritative commentary. Proper pinpoint citations are essential as I intend to rely on this research for advisory work. Only UK-qualified legal professionals or academics with aviation specialism should respond.
