What is the test for determining whether a police force can be held liable for failing to properly investigate a plaintiff's mental health issues?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Gignac v. Rozylo, 2010 BCSC 595 (CanLII):
That inquiry is informed by an objective, not a subjective, test. The inquiry is directed at a person of “ordinary fortitude” not a particular plaintiff with his or her particular vulnerabilities. Cited in support of that proposition is White v. Chief Constable of South Yorkshire Police,[7] “... The law expects reasonable fortitude and robustness of its citizens and will not impose liability for the exceptional frailty of certain individuals”.[8]
