Clues

  • Causation: Workers got cancer from asbestosis. Where there are several defendants liability may be divided between them – it only needs to be shown that one materially affected the Claimant, and that one could be fully liable (9, 1, 9)
  • Duty of Care: Three Stage Test set out. Foresight of harm; proximity and fair, just and reasonable. (6, 1, 7)
  • Foreseeability of Harm: That an ambulance being late could cause further injuries to a patient. (4, 1, 9)
  • Foreseeable: Boy accidently dropped a left paraffin lamp down manhole, which caused an explosion which left severe burns. It was foreseeable that there would be harm, it doesn't matter that the explosion was unforeseeable. (6, 1, 4, 8)
  • Forseeability: 2 claimants were paralyzed after their anaesthetic was contaminated. It wasn't known that this could happen, so it wasn't foreseeable. (3, 1, 8, 2, 6)
  • Neighbour Principle: Snail in ginger beer. Set out the original rules for negligence. (8, 1, 9)
  • Novus actus interveniens: Senior officer told policeman to go wrong way into tunnel and didn't close it after an accident. Police were liable for injuring their own police cyclist, not the defendant who caused accident. (9, 1, 5)
  • Proximity: Woman walked over to motorcycle accident and went in premature labour because of this, giving birth to stillborn. There wasn't proximity as she walked there. (8, 1, 5)
  • Reasonable Man: Two teenagers were playing with rulers, when a splinter went into one of their eyes. A teenager will be judged at the standard of a reasonable teenager. (7, 1, 8)
  • Reasonable Person: D crashed car in driving lesson. Learner drivers will be treated as qualified drivers. (10, 1, 6)
