3.6.2 Serious breach of discipline

If an injury or disease arose from a serious breach of discipline paragraph 32(1)(b) of the MRCA provides that liability will not be accepted except if the injury or disease results in serious and permanent impairment which is discussed below at 3.6.4.  The exclusion does not apply to claims for the acceptance of liability for death.

The reasonable satisfaction standard of proof is to be used in determining whether a person's injury or disease arose from a serious breach of discipline.
