A pair of paramedics have lost an appeal against the ruling they failed to provide reasonable care to a patient who died.
John Sutherland and Tom Le Sauteur were found to have breached health and safety law by the Royal Court, in June, by 'unreasonably' delaying the care for a man who suffered a cardiac arrest.
39-year-old Frazer Irvine had refused the paramedics' help after a drug overdose, which led to the crew calling for police backup.
The judge said Mr Sutherland and Mr Le Sauteur should have reacted more quickly to the changes in his condition.

The now-suspended paramedics were sentenced to two years conditional discharge and were ordered to pay £500 in costs.
Following a hearing this week, the Court of Appeal has upheld their conviction.
More than £50,000 was raised for the pair's legal costs and protests were organised by supporters and other Jersey medics, worried about the implications the ruling would have for healthcare and emergency workers.
