What is the test for foreseeability in the context of a claim for negligence?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Solar U.S.A. Inc. v. Saskatchewan Minerals, 1992 CanLII 8030 (SK QB):
A duty of care arises from foreseeability. The imposition of a duty of care necessitates foreseeability of damage which might be caused to someone in the event of negligence. But foreseeability does not, of itself, result in a duty of care: McLoughlin v. O'Brian and Others, [1982] 1 A.C. 410, at p. 421.
