Public Authority Briefing – Recent decisions

Briefings

27/03/2019

In this inaugural briefing for our Public Law Group, Saleem Khalid and Richard Collier take a detailed
look at some of the key cases of the last twelve months affecting public authority liability. The
Supreme Court’s judgment in the case of
CN v Poole is (surely!) due shortly, whilst permission to appeal
to the Supreme Court has recently been granted in the leading vicarious liability case of
Barclays Bank.
In this briefing we focus upon a number of recent cases where it has been argued that the law on duties
owed has been expanded through the law of negligence, or the Human Rights Act, to see where the law
stands as of Spring 2019.
