[2009] EWHC 2362 (QB)

Whilst the police were immune from an action in negligence at the suit of an individual if the damage complained of was caused by an act or omission in furtherance of the investigation or suppression of crime, it was at least arguable that the police owed a duty of care to an individual who had applied for an enhanced criminal record certificate in relation to the collation of information and its subsequent disclosure.
