Criminal Justice (Joint Investigation Teams) Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

Section 13 provides for the satisfaction of civil claims which may arise from operations carried out by members from another member state operating in the State as part of a joint investigation team and also by Irish members operating abroad. The State will reimburse another member state in full for any amount paid in respect of injury, loss or damage caused by our national members in the performance of their duties as seconded members. The State will also pay compensation or damages or provide any other appropriate remedy for any injury, loss or damage caused by seconded members in the State in the same way as would apply with regard to injury, loss or damage caused by national members. The State may seek reimbursement of any compensation or damages it has paid or other loss incurred from the member state which appointed the seconded members or from third parties who may be liable for injury, loss or damage caused.
