The exam covers the material from Seminars 5.2 – 12.2 inclusive.
The examination is worth 65% of the marks for the unit. You must obtain a mark of at least 30 out of 65 (and satisfactorily complete the assignment) to pass the Unit.
It is a PARTIALLY CLOSED examination. The only material allowed is ONE A4 sheet of paper that is typed or hand written on one or both sides. NO OTHER MATERIALS, INCLUDING BOOKS, ARE ALLOWED.
There are 2 questions. You must answer both questions.
Question 1 is worth 25 marks. This is an essay style question. One of the learning outcomes of this Unit is for students to ‘appreciate the strengths and limitations of tort law as it is located in the current political and social context’. The topic will be looking at how negligence law actually works in its political and social setting. You will need to refer to the theoretical and critical readings about negligence law scheduled in Volume 2 of the Seminar Guide.
Question 2 is worth 40 marks. It is a problem based question. You are required to advise the parties on what actions in negligence they could bring and whether they are likely to succeed. You need to support your answer with reference to case law and relevant provisions from legislation, including the Civil Liability Act 2002 (NSW). You are not required to write about assessment of damages in question 2.
You have 3 hours plus 10 minutes reading time to complete the exam.
