Kent v Griffiths () 2 All ER 474 is an English tort law case from the Court of Appeal concerning negligence, particularly the duty of care owed by the emergency services; particularly the ambulance service. The emergency services do not generally owe a duty of care to the public except in certain, limited circumstances (''Hill v Chief Constable of West Yorkshire'' () AC 53 (HL)). ==Facts== The claimant brought two simultaneous claims in negligence. The first, which was quickly dismissed, against her doctor, and the second, much more significant case against the London Ambulance Service after an ambulance, ordered by the doctor through a 999 call, took forty minutes to arrive at her house, where she was suffering a severe asthma attack, resulting in the claimant suffering respiratory arrest.〔2 All ER 474〕 In negligence cases, the claimant must prove that the defendant owed them a duty of care, that this duty was breached and that the injuries for which the claimant is seeking damages were a consequence of this breach. The issue before the court was whether an ambulance service (following the cases of Alexandrou v. Oxford, Oll v Secretary of State for Transport and Capital and Counties plc v. Hampshire County Council, which held that the police, Her Majesty's Coastguard and firefighters respectively did not)〔http://digitalcommons.shu.ac.uk/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1014&context=lrg_papers (P1, footnote)〕 owed a duty of care to those relying on its services.〔http://www.1chancerylane.com/?action=case&asset_id=1089〕
