Directions: Apply the legal principles to the facts given below and select the most appropriate answer.

Legal Principles:

1. Negligence is a legal wrong that is suffered by someone at the hands of another who has a duty to take care but fails to take proper care to avoid what a reasonable person would regard as a foreseeable risk.
2. The liability test requires that the harm be a reasonably foreseeable result of the defendant's conduct. A relationship of proximity must exist, and it must be fair, just, and reasonable to impose liability.
3. The claimant must prove that harm would not have occurred 'but for the defendant's negligence.
4. Duty of care is a legal obligation imposed on an individual requiring adherence to a standard of reasonable care while performing any acts that could foreseeably harm others.
5. Conversations between a doctor and a patient are generally confidential, but there are a few exceptions. 

Q) Soman was a student of PRQ University. He met Pamela at a youth festival and fell in love with her. However, Pamela was not interested in having any serious relationship with Soman. Due to this, Soman went into an emotional crisis and started consulting a psychologist at the PRQ Memorial Hospital. In October 2018, Soman murdered Pamela. Pamela’s parents contended that only a short time prior, Soman had expressed his intention to murder their daughter to his therapist, Dr. Surana, a psychologist employed by the University. They further alleged that Dr. Surana had warned campus police of Soman’s intentions and that the police had briefly detained him but then released him. Pamela’s parents filed a case of negligence against the Police Department and the University officials on two grounds: the failure to confine Soman despite his intentions to kill Pamela and the failure to warn Pamela or her parents. Defendants maintained that they owed no duty of care to the victim and were immune from suit. Which of the following is incorrect?

(A)The police did not have the requisite proximity or special relationship with their family of Pamela, sufficient to impose a duty to warn her of Soman’s intention.

(B)The public policy favoring the protection of the confidential character of patient psychotherapist communications must yield to the extent to which disclosure is essential to avert danger to others. The protective privilege ends where the public peril begins.

(C) The therapists and Regents of the University are liable for breach of duty to exercise reasonable care.

(D) Soman only once expressed the desire to kill Pamela. Such kinds of feelings are normal in any mentally ill patient. Moreover, information received during a counseling session is confidential in nature, so therapists cannot reveal it to their parents of Pamela.
