i'm saying that perception of what duty of care is is different from person to person and has not been sufficiently defined. Indeed, as i said, if it comes down to it that will happen in a court. Therefore i do not want to be the person stood there.
I posted before; ' yes, m'lud, i saw it on my radar screen but my pilot was on a basic service'. Also see radarman's last post.

I therefore feel that using radar derived information may be justified if i feel there is a risk of collision, even if the aircraft is on a basic service. Passed to the aircraft in a generic way. This happens at the moment ,something along the lines of.. 'traffic believed to be east of you , one mile....etc'

I should stress that i fully understand the need for standard provision, sticking to the terms of each service, but feel,as now,there will be blurring of services due to fear of being accused of neglect of duty of care.
