View source for Buck v Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust (2006) EWCA Civ 1576

''The claimant nurses had been assaulted by a patient and sued the Trust in negligence. The standard of reasonable care is that which is reasonably to be demanded in the circumstances: one of the circumstances was the duty of care owed by the defendant to the patient; another was the failure, contrary to the [[Safety and Security in Ashworth, Broadmoor and Rampton Hospitals Directions 2000]], to have a policy for assessing high risk patients for being locked up at night, a policy which would have led to the patient being locked up and prevented the assault. Appeal dismissed.''
