Robinson v Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police [2018] UKSC 4

Mrs Robinson was 76 years old when she got between a drug dealer and two police officers attempting to make an arrest in Huddersfield town centre. She brought a claim for the injuries she suffered against West Yorkshire police but in this episode we do more than consider the basic tenets of negligence and ask how this area of law can and should intereact with society.

In a situation exactly the same as Robinson, however, the only difference being the police officers failed to take hold of the perpetrator before they tussle (whereas in Robinson they did take hold of the perpetrator effecting the arrest) would the actions of the police in the similar case to Robinson still be viewed as a positive act? Or are they to be construed as an omission because they failed to take hold of the perpetrator effecting the arrest??
