- Key cases: Caparo v Dickman, Robinson v Chief Constable of West Yorkshire
- General rule and exceptions for omissions to act (including Smith v Littlewoods)
- How breach of duty is assessed through the “reasonable person” test (Blyth), with special standards for children, professionals (Bolam), and trainees (Nettleship v Weston)
