Justin Levinson acted for the Claimant in ABC v West Heath 2000 Limited (2015).
The New School at West Heath in Kent, a school for pupils with special educational needs, was held vicariously liable for a member of staff who had encouraged a 17 year old pupil to take and send indecent photographs of herself. The case was novel in that the court held such behaviour, which did not involve touching and so was not an assault, to be tortious for the first time.
