What is the current state of the law on a duty of care of care for a plaintiff in a personal injury case?

One of the reasons that courts have declined to impose a duty of care in similar situations to the case at bar is the concern that to impose such a duty upon financial institutions in relation to parties unknown to them would cause them to risk indeterminate liability to virtually an unlimited class.

Johnson, supra.
