Decision ID: 001036

In April 1999 the 1971 Fund Executive Committee reconsidered the admissibility of a claim by a county fire brigade for expenses incurred in providing fire fighting cover during the salvage operations, including costs for labour and the use of vehicles. The Commitee took note of the information contained in a document presented by the United Kingdon observer delegation, which raised the general issue of the admissibility of claims from emergency services. The Director was instructed to study the issues involed and to submit a document for consideration by the 1971 and 1992 Fund Assemblies at their Ocotber 1999 sessions.
