JustaFew, I'm not so sure the MoD can claim Crown Indemnity anymore. Certainly, in the well publicised Ben McDui case phrases such as "Vicarious Liability" were being banded around in abundance. I was my understanding that, if the charges had been proven, the MoD would have had to meet any claim unless they could prove that the controller concerned had indeed gone on a "frolic".
