The classic formulation of the duty of care by Lord Atkin in Donoghue v Stevenson of course includes a reference Jesus’ famous parable of the good Samaritan. He wrote: ‘The rule that you are to love your neighbour becomes in law, you must not injure your neighbour; and the lawyer’s question, Who is my neighbour? Receives a restricted reply’. That’s the case in the legal realm. But what about in the rest of life? Can we so restrict Jesus’ words? Join us at the first Sydney City Legal for the Fourth Quarter and hear Assoc Prof Neil Foster reflect on this famous story that Jesus told.
