Duty of Care: A review of the Dennis v Norwegian Refugee Council ruling and its implications
In 2015, Steve Dennis submitted a claim at the Oslo District Court against his former employer, the NRC, for compensation for economic and non-economic loss following his kidnapping in 2012. The court concluded that the NRC acted with gross negligence in relation to this incident and found the NRC to be liable for compensation towards Dennis. This paper reflects on the court case and what lessons can be drawn from the court’s ruling for the international aid sector.
