Negliegence and the Immunity for public bodies? ?

Question

I want to know if there is any case law that has held public bodies liable for negligence in recent years?

In Z and others V UK 2001, the ECHR accepted that the claimants rights had been violated and that they had been refused an effective remedy. So does this result mean that the Judiciary will have to rethink the blanket immunity from liability that they ordinary give to public bodies? or will the policy still remain ( because so social workers are so lazy and incompetent , that it will open a flood gates argument?)

What i really want to know is, is there any case law since the 2001 decision that has held local authorities liable for negligence.

If you do know, please state the case so I can look it up thanks!

My heart goes out to you.

I was in the same situation - and learned a few things.....

Firstly, everyone is an "expert"and I got so much useless information and "advice" the whole experience was made much worse,

and secondly, there's a great free Child Custody Library website at http://childcustodylibrary.info which really helped me - and I got everything easily and sim[ply sorted out with their help.

Doe sthis help please?

My very best wishes and apologies for any typing errors - my eyesight is none too good, sadly.
