Top 3 facts from the webinar:

MIM confirms that Paul is not confined to its facts. Unless a claimant witnesses a qualifying accident involving violent external means, secondary victim claims arising from clinical negligence are now unlikely to survive.
Dobson reinforces that public authority liability depends on lawful control and assumption of responsibility—not simply foreseeability of harm. For claimant lawyers, establishing a continuing duty after release from custody requires clear evidence that the authority retained both the power and responsibility to protect the claimant.
Middleton confirms that the court's priority is deciding cases on the best available evidence. Late surveillance will not usually be excluded simply because it disrupts the timetable—the critical question is whether its admission would create real forensic unfairness. Claimant practitioners should therefore prepare every significant PI claim on the assumption that surveillance may ultimately be deployed.
