Basic tort question

*Please move this to law study help if its not showing there*
Hi everyone. I am a self studying student in law and without a teachers guidance i am really stuck in severe confusion.

Can someone please tell me how to prove duty of care for omission， negligence and acts of third party ？I read the book and it said for omission there are existing relationships which have established the duty to act. But does that mean it automatically proves the duty of care？or do i count that duty to act as proving sufficient proximity only and then have to go on to prove the rest of the caparo test？

For misstatments，do i just use the principle stated in hedley bryne v heller and the refined principle caparo test or do i consider the original caparo test even though its supposed to be for physical injury or property damage on claimant？Is it true that normally pure ecpnomical loss cannot prevail in negligent claims unless it is under the mistatement category as that is what happened in hedley b v heller ？

Thank you all very much for your help in advance .
