Following the Caparo decision, the accountants do not owe a duty of care to the shareholders or the general public. There is no special relationship with the bidding company so no duty of care is owed to that. Following the case of Morgan Crucible Co plc v Hill Samuel Ltd and others 1990, the accountants owe a higher standard of care to the target company because the report will be used in a take-over bid.
