The Authority had required its firemen to attend medical incidents in the place of ambulance crews. It now appealed a finding that that request was not lawfully imposed on its officers.
Held: The appeal failed. The collective agreements with the FBU which were in turn incorporated into the individual firefighters’ contracts made no mention of such co-responding, and it was therefore not part of their duties.
