  • What's it called when someone misuses regulations for own benefit?

    Hi, how would you describe a person or what they do when they take, for example, a health and safety regulation and use it to avoid doing something? Nobody really expects everything at work to be ideal in every way - we're at work, not a bubble in paradise. There are reasonable expectations of some discomfort that we have to put up with, aren't there?

    How would you describe such a person? You obviously have someone and something in mind.
    Lawyer (solicitor) - retired from practice, now supervising solicitor in a university law clinic. I do not advise by private message.

    Litigants in Person should download and read the Judiciary's handbook for litigants in person: https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/..._in_Person.pdf

      Is there a definition or a term that can be used?

        Is the person someone who has a special position in relation to the HSE regulation?

        If so, it may be 'misconduct in public office', but whether it would fall into that category requires a clear definition of the role/duty.
