Abel is a pupil at the Harrigan Acadety, a leading secondary school for boys in any Commonwealt Caribbean jurisdiction of your choice, at which Beal is the principal. For a number of weeks, Abel has been subjected to severe bullying by Claude, a fellow pupil who punches him and takes, away his lunch money. Beal is aware of this misconduct by Claude, bat takes no steps to end it, seeing it as merely harmless boyhood antics and that in any case his intervention would not cause it to cease. Claude's bullying continues.

Eventually, Abel can take it no more and attempts to kill himself by drinking a weedicide at home in his room. Debra, Abel's sister sees him frothing at the mouth and immediately goes into shock. This triggers a relapse of her neurosis from which she had suffered but that had been in remission. Abel's mother, Ellen, calls for an ambulance that takes over an hour to arrive for a journey that would ordinarily take 20 minutes. No reason is given for this delayed arrival. By the time it arrives, Abel is dead. There is medical evidence to the effect that if the ambulance had arrived half an hour earlier, there was a 35% chance that Abel would have survived with proper treatment.

Ellen now suffers from severe depression as a result of having identified Abel's body with the effects of the poison at the morgue. Use relevant case law.
