In [case], the claimant argued that a local Mental Health Authority owed her a duty (and had, subsequently, breached this duty) in allowing a psychiatric patient into the community without adequate supervision. The patient had previously threatened to kill a child and subsequently attacked and killed the claimant’s daughter.

She was not an identifiable potential victim and there was nothing that the defendants could have reasonably done to prevent the incident occurring.
