It covers in detail the public liability of each service including liability for the negligent treatment of victims and negligent rescue. It deals with employer's liability in respect of the unique tasks carried out by employees of emergency services. Other issues specific to one or more of the services such as malfeasance, pensions and disciplinary proceedings are also covered in detail.
