caselaw brief — Donoghue v Stevenson

Case

Donoghue v Stevenson [1932] AC 562

Court

House of Lords

Ratio Decidendi

A manufacturer of products owes a duty of care to the ultimate consumer where the goods reach the consumer in the form in which they left the manufacturer, with no reasonable possibility of intermediate examination.

Key Principle

The "neighbour principle" — you must take reasonable care to avoid acts or omissions which you can reasonably foresee would be likely to injure your neighbour.

Subsequent Treatment

Applied in Caparo v Dickman [1990] — three-part test

Distinguished in Murphy v Brentwood [1991] — pure economic loss

Considered in Robinson v Chief Constable [2018] — police duty

Citation mapping is genuinely brilliant. Found three cases I'd completely missed in my dissertation.
