Resumo de Recurso
Has there been a breach in the duty of care?
1. What is the standard of care?
This is the standard of the REASONABLE PERSON in the same circumstances
As laid out in Blyth V Proprieters of Birmingham Water Works
This is an OBJECTIVE standard
EXCEPTIONS TO THE REASONABLE PERSON STANDARD:
LEARNERS: should be driving with the same standard of care of that of an experienced driver as in NETTLESHIP V WESTON
CHILDREN (up to 18): are judged against other children of the same age as in MULLIN V RICHARDS
PROFESSIONALS (people with a higher skill set than that of the reasonable person and thererfore have a higher standard)
THE BOLAM TEST states that it doesn't matter if there is a divded medical opinion as long as there is a body of similar professionals who support
THE BOLITHO TEST says that it is ultimately up to the courts to decide whether or not the medical opinion will withstand logical analysis
2. Have the defendants actions caused them to fall below the standard?

MAGNITUDE OF RISK

BOLTON V STONE
POTENTIAL HARM
Where the risk seems small but the potential harm is great, then you are expected to deal with it

COST AND PRACTICALITY
LATIMER V AEC
You are only supposed to do what is reasonable to prevent harm

Sometimes it acceptable to run a risk if the action is justified (an emergency situation)
