I was told yesterday that an incident occurred in Galway, Ireland, at an air show. The door of an helicopter fell off, injuring a civilian, but the helicopter belonged to the Army (Not sure if the details are correct.) However, this is just an example.
Anyway, the question is, if the civilian is the victim, and the Army (as an organisation) is sued by this civilian, is this a case for the civilian courts or the military court martial?
I always thought that courts martial was strictly for internal issues within the army, military for military. If civilians are involved, then it's not a matter for the courts martial, unless it's to do with besmirching the name of the army, or dishonourable behaviour?
If I am wrong, Please enlighten me. Thanks.
