Question #: 52
Topic #: 6

Q is a company which generates electricity from alternative energy sources. It has just begun constructing a wind farm near a well-known beauty spot. The project has been controversial as campaigners say it will be noisy and unsightly.

The campaigners took legal action but lost the case. Some of them have started a campaign of direct action against Q and are physically blocking roads leading to the site and attempting to intimidate Q's staff.

Q has hired a security company to help it to protect its staff.

In relation to the ethics of this scenario, which of the following statements are valid?


A.

Q is within its rights to hire the security firm because it has duty of care to its employees.


B.

Q no longer has any duty of care to the protestors since their actions are illegal because they lost their court case.


C.

The security firm must take care not to use more force against the protestors than is absolutely necessary.


D.

Since the protestors have already lost their court case they would no longer be ethically justified in engaging in political lobbying to try to get the government to change the law in this area.


E.

The generation of electricity from clean, renewable and sustainable sources is too important for the protestors' concerns to be considered.
