Lord Atkin, a prominent British jurist, served as a judge in the House of Lords in the early 20th century. He is best known for articulating the "neighbour principle" in the landmark case of Donoghue v. Stevenson (1932), which established a foundational concept in tort law regarding negligence. The principle asserts that individuals owe a duty of care to those who could be directly affected by their actions, emphasizing the importance of considering the impact of one's conduct on others. This concept has significantly influenced modern legal standards surrounding liability and responsibility.
The Neighbour Principle states that you have a duty of care to ensure that you take reasonable care to avoid acts or omissions which you can reasonably forsee would injur your neighbour. The explanation of neighbour given by Lord Atkins is someone who is closely and directly affected by your actions which you could reasonably foresee would cause them injury. See Donoghue v Stevenson
