As a matter of public policy, public authorities need to be left free to do their job without fear of the consequences from individuals / businesses that are affected financially by their decisions

In a recent case, the court confirmed that a public health authority did not owe a duty of care to the proprietor of a nursing home, whose registration was cancelled under the Registered Homes Act 1984 (now replaced by the Care Standards Act 2000) but who was subsequently absolved of the wrongdoing / mismanagement which led to the cancellation and closure of the home
