Of course, most people think intervening in muggings is a morally admirable thing to do (apart from the police, who tend to take a view of "have-a-go-heroes" that ranges from sceptical to outright hostile), but somehow we have maintained this lack of a duty to intervene at common law since, quite literally, time immemorial. -- Malcolm Hutty | tel: +44 20 7645 3523 Head of Public Affairs | Read the LINX Public Affairs blog London Internet Exchange | http://publicaffairs.linx.net/ London Internet Exchange Ltd 21-27 St Thomas Street, London SE1 9RY Company Registered in England No. 3137929 Trinity Court, Trinity Street, Peterborough PE1 1DA
