Liability Risk and Insurance
No indication of suffering from stress
The claimant had been employed by a Police Authority since 1979. Since 1985 he had been the estate manager of the Authority’s
headquarters. In September 2004 he suffered a nervous breakdown and did not return to work. He alleged that he developed his
condition as a result of having to work long hours to perform his duties and in particular as a result of having to be on
call out of hours. He also complained that the Authority should have provided him with accommodation away from the site for
use on the occasions when he was not on call.
