What started as a misfiring armored-vehicle program has grown into a full-blown investigation of British Army safety and procurement culture, with the Ministry of Defence planning to appoint a senior legal figure to consider issues highlighted by failings in the Ajax project.

Defence procurement minister Jeremy Quin revealed his intention to appoint a lawyer or judge to undertake the review in a Dec. 15 update to Parliament on progress in resolving significant vibration and noise problems discovered during Army trials ahead of the vehicles being formally handed over by the builder, General Dynamics Land Systems UK.
