The issue in this appeal is whether the facts pleaded by the Claimant against the First Defendant [‘the Chief Constable’] disclose a reasonable cause of action in tort, capable of giving rise to an award of substantial damages. The Chief Constable applied to strike out the Claimant’s claim against him as disclosing no reasonable cause of action or, alternatively, for summary judgment, Master McCloud refused both applications. The Chief Constable now appeals against the Master’s refusal.
