Essential Tort Law, Third Edition

Description

The House of Lords held that a cop who claimed that

the respondent chief had been careless in neglecting to forestall

her exploitation by individual officials had a questionable case in Waters

v Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis (2000). The petitioner had

whined to her boss of a rape by an individual official.

Subsequently, her kindred officials criticized her for having made the

grumbling. The public arrangement invulnerability didn’t matter. The petitioner

was not suing as an individual from general society. Ruler Halton said it was

in the public interest to permit the case; in any case, residents would

be disheartened from joining the police.
