Paragraph 8 Liability for acts of seconded staff
The F1Office shall be liable in respect of unlawful conduct of seconded constables in the carrying out, or purported carrying out, of their functions as members of the F2Office's staff in the like manner as an employer is liable in respect of any unlawful conduct of his employees in the course of their employment.
Accordingly, the Office shall be treated in the case of any such unlawful conduct which is a tort, as a joint tortfeasor.
In this paragraph “seconded constables” means persons serving as members of the Office's staff without being employed by it.
