What was found

AFTER TOUCHDOWN, SPEED AND APPLYING BOTH BRAKE PEDALS WITH EQUAL PRESSURE, THE ACFT STARTED IMMEDIATELY VEERING QUICKLY TO THE LT OF THE RUNWAY. AFTER RELEASING PRESSURE FROM BOTH BRAKE PEDALS, THE BRK FAIL CAS MESSAGE ILLUMINATED. NO BRAKES WERE AVAILABLE AFTER APPLICATION OF THE BRAKE PEDALS AT THAT TIME. PILOT THEN APPLIED THE EMER PARK BRK PROGRESSIVELY AND WAS SUCCESSFULLY ABLE TO DECELERATE THE ACFT USING THE RUNWAY LENGTH AVAILABLE.
