0081 REVIEW GRANTED In general, a defendant owes a plaintiff a duty to act reasonably to protect the plaintiff against dangers resulting from the defendant's acts unless it is not foreseeable that the general kind of conduct in which the defendant engaged could lead to the general type of harm that the plaintiff sustained. When a defendant asks a plaintiff to help apprehend an armed robber, the risk that the plaintiff will be injured is sufficiently foreseeable to impose on defendant a duty of reasonable care.CitationROBBINS v SOUTHLAND CORP (Stop That Guy) 10 CA4 1194 [See: Forrand v Foodmaker 182 CA3 196]
