The Civil Liabilities Act 2002 defines negligence as a failure on the part of the defendant which results in the harm of the plaintiff which could have been prevented by taking reasonable care. The breach of duty must be foreseeable, Sullivan v Moody. The risk must be not insignificant, and a reasonable person under similar circumstances would have taken precaution against the harm. In this case

Dixon did not meet the standard of care. Meaning he is a part of the blame. The clause did not excuse the defendant's

1. Brockwell left his boat at Lake Gaston Sales to be repaired. Brockwell was required to sign a form that states that Lake Gaston Sales has no responsibility for any loss to any property in or on the boat. After the repair, Brockwell is missing electronic equipment and other items of his are damaged. Lake Gaston Sales is using an Exculpatory Clause. In some cases an exculpatory clause is may be unenforceable. Items damaged and stolen from Brockwell’s boat could be a result from Lake Gaston’s Sales’s negligence of taking care of and respecting customer property. This Exculpatory Clause likely will not be enforced because it is seeks

Sydney, I completely agree with you. His rights were violated to an extent. In our book it states that our rights end when others begin. When he was just holding up he sign and not yelling profanities his rights were protected by the first amendment. The second he started yelling profanities and causing a scene, is when his rights ended. I also agree that that officers did not detain him too roughly. They did what they had to do. The man was resisting arrest; furthermore, when a person does this, then the police have the right to arrest the person. I also agree that the sign was not he cause of his treatment. He was resisting arrest. The man had wrapped his leg around one of the officers. The treatment that he had received was mainly because

In Walker v. Birmingham, Justice Stewart’s strongest argument disagrees with the petitioners’ defiance of the injunction without seeking legal action first. The petitioners acknowledged the injunction, which required them to either cease the protests or seek a permit to continue. After acknowledging, they decided to disregard this order and simply plan the next parades. Defiance of any law constitutes a violation, for which a consequence exists. Moreover, Stewart emphasizes that obtaining clarification from the court rather than defying the injunction appropriates the correct course of action. Seeking explanation avoids the petitioners’ desire to ignore the injunction. Doing so presents the opportunity to raise questions about discrimination

Ragnarr, must prove to the court that due to the states negligent actions he will consequently experience economic loss. Causation refers to whether the defendants conduct (or omission), in this case The State Of Victoria, caused the resulting harm or damage. The common law of negligence obliges instigation of causation for the purposefulness of attaching legal accountability. Another element that must be proven is that it is applicable for the scope of the negligent persons liability to extend to the harm so caused (scope of liability ). As it is a case of negligence the onus of proving, on the balance of probabilities, is weighed upon our client, the plaintiff Mr. Ragnarr. Even if the ‘but for’ test is applied to the current situation in the case, the outcome would be that the loss suffered by the plaintiff would have only occurred if the defendant acted negligently, which they did, and therefore if they hadn’t have acted in that way, then our client would not have been publicly humiliated by the State Of Victoria as a result. The court must deliberate whether it is suitable to extend the scope of the defendant negligence to the harm caused to the plaintiff and our client, Mr. Ragnarr. The harm that occurred, or similar harm, must have been foreseeable in order for it to reach within the scope of liability upon the

Instead of confining itself simply to the mischief which the statute was intended to correct, the court resolves ambiguities by reference to the statute’s overall purpose. Indeed, many modern statutes are not simply intended to correct mischiefs in the common law but have a wider social agenda. Under the purposive approach the courts should try to give effect to this wider statutory purpose in interpreting ambiguous provisions in statutes. For the purposive approach the example case can be Knowles v Liverpool City Council (1993). Knowles was employed by the Council and was injured at work whilst handling a defective flagstone. He claimed damages from them under the Employers’ Liability (Defective Equipment) Act 1969. The Council claimed that they were not liable as a flagstone could not be “equipment” within the Act. The House of Lords held that it could. The purpose of the statute was to protect employees from exposure to dangerous materials. The words “equipment” should be interpreted in this context. The Council were therefore liable for Knowles’ injuries (Paul, 2002).

The clause according to the textbook is exculpatory clause, that is, one that attempts to release anyone from liability in the event of injury to another party or property damage. An exculpatory clause is generally unenforceable when it attempts to exclude an intentional tort or gross negligence. If the fire was not the result of Safe Storage's negligence than I think Sarah is incorrect. If the fire was a result of Safe Storage's negligence than Sarah is still incorrect due to that she signed the agreement. In the instance of Safe Storage not being negligent in the fire, the Exculpatory Clause would stand and Sarah would be out her possessions. By signing the contract, she agreed to hold the liability of the loss personally and release Safe

MS.WHITE’S ARGUMENT THAT SAGE RENT-A-CAR INC. IS REQUIRED TO CARRY INSURANCE UNDER THE PROVISION OF THE MANDATORY FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ACT HAVING A DUTY TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILTY FOR THIS ACCIDENT FAILS TO STATE A CLAIM UPON WHICH RELIEF CAN BE GRANTED. AS A RESULT, SAGE RENT-A-CAR INC. CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR THE NEGLIGENCE OF MR. CALKIN.

The landlord wishes to claim a total of £20.00 for damage at the end of the tenancy. However, it is unclear from the agent’s submission what issue the landlord is claiming for. The submissions from the tenants suggest that a £19.00 charge has been deducted for cleaning stain from a mattress, However, I cannot be certain that this is the case since the £19.00 charge relates to cleaning, not damage. I have also not seen any invoices or anything in the correspondence between the parties to indicate what the £20.00 deduction is for. It is not for the adjudicator to formulate any aspect of the landlords’ claims. I am therefore unable to make any award for this item. Since it is not for the adjudicator to formulate any aspect of the landlords’

The Court held that CGU?s decision to deny indemnity under the policy did not breach section 13 of the ICA. The Court reviewed various well established principles that identified an insurer is entitled to a reasonable period of time to make inquiries of the insured and circumstances of the claim and to come to a position on indemnity. The Court reiterated the principle that an insurer?s decision to deny indemnity does not, by default, cause that insurer to be in breach of section 13 of the ICA

According to the parol evidence rule, if a term has been breached, the unhappy party; in this case Derrick, can sue the other party; Susie. In the contract between Susie and Derrick, the shipping container weight was not specified. This means it is not a term of the contract. When Derrick asked Susie about the weight of the shipping container, Susie ensured Derrick the shipping container weighted less than 2 tonnes; this is not a term as it wasn’t stated in the contract, but is a collateral contract as it is a promise and not consisted with the contract. The shipping container weighted 2.7 tonnes, which damaged Derrick’s truck. It is unclear whether in the contract an exemption clause was stated on if the truck was damaged. An exception to the parol evidence rule shows the contract had shown inconsiderable behaviour by not stating how much the shipping container weighted as well as the false statement by Susie when she was ask about the weight of the shipping container. In the De Lassalle v Guildford case, of similar issue, there was a lease agreement, which had been signed. In the agreement nothing was stated about the drains. De Lassalle asked before signing the contract and Guildford stated there were no worries, but the house flooded. De Lassalle sued Guildford by using the collateral contract made before signing the contract as evidence. In the case between Derrick and Susie, as the assurance of how much the shipping container weighed was stated after the contract had

Before analysing, Harvey needs to be advised that there are two known clauses that exist in a contract; limitation clause and exclusion clause. He needs to understand that there is a difference between both of these clauses. When there is a breach of the contract, the limitation clause that is relied on in a contract and enforced would make an effort to pay for certain damages. This can only be used as an indicator for Harvey to recognise their differences, but, it will not be explained any further as the enquiry made is only related to exclusion clause. Capability Limited is a private limited company that has subcontracted a sole proprietor, Reckless Enterprise. As the damages were done by Reckless Enterprise, with the matter of who is liable to pay for it, the court needs to look deep into the consequences of Capability Limited and how Reckless Enterprise was included in the Memorandum as a third party.
