Covington lawyer Alan Kenny discusses in the Expert Chapter from this year's International Comparative Legal Guide to Litigation & Dispute Resolution the recent changes in how the English Courts decide in what circumstances a defendant will owe a claimant a duty to take reasonable care, and the practical implications of this on the ease with which claimants can bring successful negligence claims.
