Chief Constable of Northamptonshire Police v Woodcock [2025] EWCA Civ 13 (15 January 2025)
The Court of Appeal allowed police appeals in joined negligence and Article 3 claims, holding there was no duty to warn Ms Woodcock and no actionable human-rights breach in the Wiltshire cases.
Sergeant Upton failed to keep a proper lookout in the moments leading up to the collision, constituting primary liability. Mr Mills was contributorily negligent in crossing against the lights and failing to heed the police van, warranting a 50% reduction in damages. The dependency claims by Jane and James Mills were speculative and unsupported by evidence of firm intention or financial capacity, so only modest damages were awarded for potential gifts to grandchildren.
