The frivolous complaint does not require an investigation to come to the evident conclusion that it is frivolous. The complaint should not proceed any further when, from a simple initial review, it is evident that it will not be possible to substantiate it because the complainant provided no specific allegations or information surrounding the allegations and, upon request, does not provide the necessary information to initiate a proper investigation of precise behaviours, acts, events or displays. 2, record 1, English, - frivolous%20complaint

Lorsque la plainte est frivole, il n'est pas nécessaire de mener une enquête pour conclure à son caractère frivole. Il ne faut pas pousser plus loin l'étude de la plainte si, d'après un simple examen initial, il est évident qu'il sera impossible de la justifier parce que la partie plaignante n'a pas formulé d'allégations précises, n'a pas fourni d'informations déterminées au sujet des allégations et n'a pas, sur demande, fourni les renseignements requis pour amorcer une enquête en bonne et due forme au sujet des comportements, actes, événements ou exhibitions en question. 3, record 1, French, - plainte%20frivole

That a duty of care may be negatived by suitable disclaimer of responsibility was itself established in Hedley Burne where a request to the defendant's bank for a credit report on one of its clients opened with the assurance that it was wanted "in confidence and without responsibility". The efficacy of such a disclaimer, resting as it does not on contract but on negativing an initial assumption of responsibility in tort is all the greater for not being bounded by contractual notions of privity. 1, record 4, English, - disclaimer%20of%20responsibility
