I think so. It is before Lister v Romford Ice but you can distinguish it from the Lister v Romford Ice sort of case on the basis that in Jones v Manchester the claimant could establish that that the hospital was liable independently of any vicarious liability for the doctor. Indeed, in Jones itself Denning LJ gives that as a reason why it differs from a case like Lister.

He wasn't daft Denning.

Is Jones still good law? I seem to remember it having had doubt cast upon it.
