Syllabus

Negligent undertaking doctrine duty Civ.R. 56 special relations. Affirmed. The existence of a duty hinges on the relationship between the parties, and absent a special relationship, there is no duty to protect third parties from physical harm caused by others. In addition, plaintiffs have not demonstrated that the negligent undertaking doctrine creates a duty owed to protect a third party from the criminal conduct of another.
