However, in the context of this case, the court conclude these failures were errors in judgment that did not amount to a breach of the standard of care. The surrounding circumstances must also be considered when determining the requisite standard of care: Just v. British Columbia, 1989 CanLII 16 (SCC), [1989] 2 S.C.R. 1228 at para. 30.
