Stoney Canyon penitentiary is located near the town of Elmwood. One evening a guard employed at the jail failed to properly secure one of the gates near an exercise field. As a result, an inmate escaped and went on a crime spree. Having regard to issues of proximity, foreseeability, and policy reasons, which of the following claimants would be least likely to succeed in a court action against the guard and/or the jail?
a. A claim by a citizen of Elmwood whose vehicle was carjacked within hours of the escape.
b. A claim by a gas station owner for personal injury and economic losses occasioned by the escaped inmate’s assault and robbery which took place two months later and 250 kilometres away from the jail.
c. The claim of a local bingo parlour whose premises were torched by the inmate after a standoff with the police the day after his escape.
d. The claims of an elderly couple injured in an automobile accident two days after the escape during which the inmate crashed into their car following a high speed pursuit.
