Tindall v Chief Constable of Thames Valley Police, a landmark UK Supreme Court decision exploring the boundaries of negligence law. The case questions whether the police, by responding ineffectively to a dangerous icy road, made matters worse, ultimately leading to a fatal accident. We’ll unpack the court’s reasoning on public authority liability, the duty of care, and the critical distinction between causing harm and failing to prevent it.
