‘A former soldier is suing the Ministry of Defence over its failure to protect him from contracting Q fever in Afghanistan.
It is the first case to test the MoD’s duty to protect against Q fever, according to Hilary Meredith Solicitors, acting for Bass. The five-day trial, starting at Central London county court on Monday, will examine the extent of any duty owed by the army to Bass in relation to Q fever, and whether that duty was breached.’
