Three ex-criminals, Boris, Tommy, and Turkish have become police informants, giving information about their old criminal associates to the police. They have been taken into a witness protection programme and are living new lives with new identities. Information about their new lives and identities is held on a high-security police computer server. However, a hacker breaks into the secure server, and the police discover that the new identities of Boris, Tommy, and Turkish have been exposed to their old criminal associates.

The police immediately call Boris to inform him that his new identity has been exposed. However, it is too late for Boris, as he has already been hunted down and killed by his old associates.

Provide your advice for Boris on his potential tort law claims against the police. Use the IPAC structure and apply relevant case law.
