1. General. The question of whether a particular casualty can be regarded as

attributable to the special risks of Sea Cadet Corps duty will be decided by MOD(N).
Normally all casualties resulting from:

a. Pursuance of an authorised training activity,

b. Duly authorized trips in naval vessels,

c. Duly authorized flying or gliding, and not contributed to by the negligence or

misconduct of the victim will be so regarded.

2. MOD Claims and Liability. The MOD accepts liability as follows:

a. The Ministry of Defence (Navy) undertakes to fully and effectively indemnify the
Marine Society and Sea Cadets (MSSC) and the Units against all liabilities,
claims, actions, proceedings, demands, costs, charges or expenses which may
be incurred in respect of sickness or personal injury (including injury resulting in
death) or loss of or damage to property by reason of or arising out of any negligent
act or omission by, or on the part of, a Cadet, Adult Volunteer, member of
Uniformed Volunteer Staff, Civilian Instructor, employee of the MSSC or MOD
whilst in the course of Authorised Activities or of travel to and from Authorised
Activities.

b. The Ministry of Defence will consider claims for compensation from Third Parties
on the basis of its Legal Liability in Tort (see above).

c. The Ministry of Defence has no legal liability to deal with or settle any claim
occurring from unauthorised (“off-duty”) activities.
