This popular, annual update will be hosted on 8 February 2023 by David Roderick who will seek to cover the following developments in general liability principles and PI practice area updates:

Developments in general liability principles:

• The scope of a duty of care. In particular, the assumption of responsibility: Tindall v Chief Constable of Thames Valley; CJ v Chief Constable of Wiltshire; and HXA v Surrey County Council & YXA v Wolverhampton City Council.
