It does not have limited liability at all. If things go wrong, who does somebody sue at the end of the day? In the case of a company, there are shareholders or whatever. Who does somebody sue in the case of a body like this? Who is left carrying the can? We know it is the taxpayer, but does the board have any role before we get to the poor taxpayer? Do the members of the board have any liability in relation to the actions of the board? Does the board of directors have any liability?
