Understand the current relevance of the regulatory regime alongside common law negligence.
Identify and apply statutory duties, non-delegable duties, and duty of care principles.
Analyse recent case law.
Evaluate issues of contributory negligence and liability in workplace claims.
Navigate challenges involving multiple defendants and cost orders.
Develop effective case strategies, including the use of risk assessments and employment status analysis.
Section 69 ERRA reshapes claims strategy – With reduced reliance on breach of statutory duty, successful claims now hinge on well-pleaded common law negligence and clear evidence of breach and causation.
The regulatory framework still matters – Although no longer directly actionable, regulations and Statutes remain highly relevant in informing the standard of care, risk assessments, and evidential arguments.
Recent case law refines the boundaries of liability – Decisions such as Pashamov v Taylor and others highlight evolving approaches to non-delegable duties, employment status, and multi-defendant liability, reinforcing the need for precise and strategic case preparation.
