Where does Duty of Care cease?

[Harley Quinn]

Thanks to those who have chipped in so far. I think I am content with the principle of DoC in terms of employer/employee relationships hence the allusion to HASAW, and also the accountability for actions on the public etc. My OP however is where that 'duty' lies with regard to off duty servicemen and how that squares with modern concepts of privacy and ultimately the ECHR. As a relic of the Cold War I think my own, instinctive answer is now probably wrong.

Is there a special DoC that should be extended to the military in the circumstances outlined in my OP?

Dallas, its not a moan, I was using my circs to specifically anonymise the query, ie trying to make it a general principle.
