JCF FREED IN FATAL RUN - Court tosses father’s negligence case after son collapsed, died during recruitment test
A father has lost his negligence claim against the State over the death of his son, who collapsed during a physical assessment for recruitment to the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) five years ago. Supreme Court Justice Sonya Wint-Blair dismissed the claim, finding that the evidence did not prove that the JCF was negligent or that its recruitment procedures caused the aspiring recruit’s death.
