Donoghue v Stevenson is an important case because it created the modern concept of negligence.

Lord Atkin emphasized the 'neighbor principle' where individuals should avoid acts or omissions that could reasonably foresee to cause injury or damage to our neighbor.

The Neighbor principle is commonly used in tort today to establish a duty of care between parties where it may not be apparent that a duty of care exists.
