Although defendants owed a duty of care, plaintiffs failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that the deceased contracted leptospiral infection in custody or that any breach by defendants caused his death; coroner's speculative findings could not be treated as proven facts; medical evidence did not establish that earlier hospitalisation would have saved the deceased; misfeasance was not proved; therefore plaintiffs' claims dismissed.
