Robinson v Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police: a re-interpretation by the Supreme Court.

Arnell, Sarah

Abstract

The existence of a duty of care is central to the law of negligence. The Supreme Court has taken the opportunity to clarify the position of the police with regard to when they will owe a duty of care and, at the same time, to re-formulate the approach to be taken in determining a duty of care.
