FLK1

A claimant was injured when a defendant (Victor), who was engaged in leaving loose debris on a construction site, caused an accident.

A.It acts as a complete defense, and the claimant receives no damages.
B.It reduces the claimant's damages to the extent that is just and equitable, reflecting the claimant's share of responsibility.
C.It has no effect on damages but requires the claimant to pay the defendant's legal costs.
D.It shifts the burden of proof to the claimant to show that they took all reasonable precautions.
E.It renders the claim null and void, requiring allocation to criminal arbitration.

✓ Worked Explanation

Core Concept: Contributory Negligence (Law Reform (Contributory Negligence) Act 1945) Contributory negligence is a partial defence - it does not defeat the claim entirely, but reduces the damages awarded to reflect the claimant's own responsibility for their injury. Step-by-Step Resolution: 1. Identify the Defence: Victor admits negligence but argues the claimant also contributed to their own injury (e.g., not wearing a seatbelt, failing to follow safety instructions). 2. Legal Effect (LRCNA 19

A customer (Zoe) is walking down a warehouse aisle when a heavy crate falls from a high shelf and injures them. The claimant has no evidence of what exactly caused the crate to fall. Can the claimant rely on the doctrine of 'Res Ipsa Loquitur'?

A.No, because the claimant must prove the exact negligent act to bring a claim.
B.Yes, if the thing causing the accident was under the sole control of the defendant, and the accident is one that does not occur in the ordinary course of things without negligence.
C.No, because Res Ipsa Loquitur only applies to breach of contract claims.
D.Yes, but the claimant's damages are automatically capped at £10,000.
E.No, unless the defendant has already been convicted in a criminal court.

✓ Worked Explanation

Core Concept: Res Ipsa Loquitur ('The Thing Speaks for Itself') Res ipsa loquitur is an evidentiary doctrine that *shifts the evidential burden* to the defendant to provide an explanation for an accident. It assists claimants who cannot identify the exact cause of an accident but can show the circumstances make negligence the most probable explanation. Step-by-Step Resolution: 1. Three Requirements (Scott v London and St Katherine Docks [1865]): - The *thing* causing harm was under the defen

✓ Worked Explanation

Core Concept: Misrepresentation Act 1967 - Remedies The Misrepresentation Act 1967 classifies misrepresentation into three types (fraudulent, negligent, innocent) and provides different remedies for each.

Identify the Type: A *negligent* false statement of fact made by Lucas to induce Ian to buy. 2. Remedy Under Section 2(1): The innocent party (Ian) may: - Rescind the contract (r

D.The company and the promoter are jointly and severally liable automatically.
E.The company can unilaterally ratify the contract without the supplier's agreement.

✓ Worked Explanation

Core Concept: Pre-Incorporation Contracts (Section 51 CA 2006) A company cannot be a party to a contract before it legally exists. When a promoter signs a contract 'on behalf of' an unformed company, Section 51 CA 2006 provides the default rule: the promoter is personally bound. Step-by-Step Resolution: 1. Legal Status Before Incorporation: Alpha Trading Ltd had no legal existence when Mia signed the contract. There was no legal entity to be bound. 2. Apply Section 51: The contract takes effect

✓ Worked Explanation
