Paragraph 8 LiabilityF1
United Kingdom
This paragraph applies where a person has been seconded to serve as a member of the Commissioner’s staff.
The Commissioner is liable in respect of unlawful conduct of the person in the carrying out, or purported carrying out, of their functions as a member of the Commissioner’s staff, in the same manner as an employer is liable in respect of unlawful conduct of an employee in the course of their employment.
In sub-paragraph (1) the reference to secondment to serve as a member of the Commissioner’s staff is to serving as a member of the Commissioner’s staff without being employed by the Commissioner.
