0%
Surgeon will be responsible and Seema need not to prove surgeon's negligence because presence of abdominal pack in her abdomen is sufficient proof thereof
0%
None of the above
Explanation
Res ispa loquitur is a latin doctrine in common law of torts which infers negligence from the very nature of an accident or injury in the absence of direct evidence on how any defendant behaved. In this doctrine, the elements of duty of care, breach, and causation are inferred from an injury that does not ordinarily occur without negligence. Hence, in the above situation, Seema need not prove surgeon's negligence. The presence of abdominal pack in her abdomen speaks for itself as sufficient proof for negligence.
LEGAL PRINCIPLE: Master/Principal is vicariously liable for the tort committed by a servant/agent, in the performance of his duties as a servant/agent.
FACTS: A gave some cash and cheques to his friend B, who was an employee of the State Bank of India, to deposit the same in that Bank in the account of A. B misappropriated the amount.

0%
Not liable because he turned out to be the friend of the plantiff's husband
0%

Explanation
Vicarious liability can be defined as a legal doctrine that assigns liability for an injury to a person who did not cause the injury who has a particular relationship to the person who did act negligently. It can also be called as imputed negligence. This doctrine arises under the common law doctrine of agency, respondeat superior, the responsibility of the superior for the acts of their subordinate or, in a broader sense, the responsibility of any third party that had the "right, ability or duty to control" the activities of a violator. Hence, Bank will not be liable as B was not acting as the agent/employee of the bank while committing fraud.
LEGAL PRINCIPLE: An employee is responsible for any accident or less caused to his employees, during the course of employment.

Report Question
0%
of contractual relations
0%
of the Food Adulteration Act
0%
the consumer is the neighbour of X
0%
of the consumer protection law
Explanation
The principle established in the case of Donoghue v Stevenson can be followed in this case. It held that although no contract was entered into between the manufacturer and the customer, negligence could nevertheless be proved as the customer is to be directly affected by the product of the manufacturer.
So, X's product has a direct impact on the ultimate consumer although no direct contract for sale has been entered into.

PRINCIPLE: An assault is an attempt to do a corporeal hurt to another, coupled with an apparent present ability and intention to do that act. A battery is the intentional and direct application of any physical force to the person of another.
FACTUAL SITUATION: A was slitting on a chair reading a book. His friend, B decided to play a practical joke on him. Accordingly, he pulled the chair from under him, as a result of which A landed on the floor.
Report Question
0%
B's act amounts to a battery
0%
B's act amounts to an assault
0%
B's act amounts to an assault till the time A lands on the floor
0%
B's act amounts to neither because there was no intention
Explanation
D is the correct option.
The tort of assault is defined as threatening bodily harm to another in a convincing way. The essential requirements of assault are:
(1) the intention of the defendant to cause apprehension of harmful contact
(2) the act resulted in apprehension in the mind of the plaintiff that a harmful contact would occur.
It must be with the intention to interfere with the right to liberty of a person. So, mere removal of a chair playfully that may result in mere falling on the floor will not give rise to sufficient intention to cause apprehension of harmful contact.
PRINCIPLE: Trespass to land is the wrongful and unwarranted entry upon the land of another.
FACTUAL SITUATION: A purchased a ticket to watch a movie in a theatre. After the show got over, A refused to leave the theatre. The owner of the theatre sues A for trespass.

Explanation
The principle of respondeat superior states that a master is vicariously liable for the wrongful acts of his servant which are undertaken within the scope of employment. The term 'scope of employment' has been explained in the case of Carter v Reynolds. The essential requirements of the term as given are:
(1) the work is of the kind the employee is entitled to perform.
(2) the wrongful act has occurred within the authorized time and space limits. (3) the wrongful act has been actuated atleast partially for the benefit of the master.
In the given instance, all these three factors have been negated because B was not entitled to carry put pick and drop, B drove it to a nearby city outside the space limits of his work and he did it for money and not for the benefit of his master.

In each of these cases, the consideration or object of an agreement is said to be unlawful.
In this case it is immoral which will lead BCCI to have a loss and hence the contract is void
PRINCIPLE: Ignorance of law is no excuse.

0%
He may request the department to waive the interest and penalty
0%

0%
None of the above
Explanation
Ignorantia legis neminem excusat or ignorance of law is no excuse states that merely because a person is not aware of any law cannot escape liability under that law for not knowing its contents. It applies to all types of laws, civil,criminal as well as statutory laws. Therefore, even in the absence of any intention to evade taxes the person can escape criminal liability but not the liability to pay the taxes.
Here in this case, A failed to file his tax returns for ten years and tax paying is a legal liability and hence, ignoring it cannot be a ground of defence.

Given below are Legal Principles followed by a Factual Situation. Apply the principles followed by a factual Situation. Apply the principle to it and select the most appropriate answer for question among the four choices given.
LEGAL PRINCIPLE: Everybody is under a legal obligation to take reasonable care in order not to injury by an act or omission his neighbour, which he may foresee. The neighbour for this purpose is a person who is likely to be affected by the act or the omission.
FACTUAL SITUATION: Amit, while rushing to board a moving train at a station pushed Anil who was walking along with a heavy load, containing fire crackers, the push resulted in slipping of the load from Anil's hand. The crackers exploded injuring a boy, Sumit standing nearby. Sumit filed a suit against Amit claiming damages.
DECIDE.
Report Question
0%
Amit is not liable, because Sumit is not his neighbour.
0%
Amit is not liable, because Anil should not be carrying load of crackers on a railway station.
0%
Amit is liable, because he pushed Anil.
0%
Amit is liable, because he was running.
Explanation
The neighbour principle in law of torts was developed by Lord Atkin in the case of Donoghue v Stevenson. It stated that a person must take reasonable care to ensure that any act or omission that can be reasonably foreseen to injure a neighbour should not be carried out. The term 'neighbour' here refers to any person who is likely to be directly affected by the consequences of a person's act. In this instance, Sumil was the person to be immediately affected by Amit's act and he could reasonably foresee that pushing would result in dropping of heavy loads which would hurt any person standing close by. So, Amit ought to have taken precaution while rushing.
Given below are Legal Principles followed by a Factual Situation. Apply the principles followed by a factual Situation. Apply the principle to it and select the most appropriate answer for question among the four choices given.
LEGAL PRINCIPLE:
The violation of legal right without damage gives rise to tort.
FACTUAL SITUATION:
X runs a coaching centre and charges Rs. 1800 per month as fees per candidate. Y runs another coaching centre and charges Rs. 1300 per month as fees per candidate for completing with X. This act of Y compelled X to reduce his charge to such Rs. 1300.
QUESTION:
Can X claim for damages from Y?
Report Question
0%
Yes, he can as Y violated his legal right.
0%
No, X has reduced the fees on his own.
0%
Yes, because as there was damages there was legal injury.
0%
No, because though there was damage there was no legal injury.
Explanation
The above case is based on the legal doctrine of Injuria sine damnum which means injury of legal rights without damage. It basically states that infringement of an absolute private right without any actual loss or damage. Here, physical damages or actual loss means loss or damage in terms of health, money, etc.
Therefore, A will not be compensated since his legal rights are not violated even though actual damage/loss is suffered.

Given below are Legal Principles followed by a Factual Situation. Apply the principles followed by a factual Situation. Apply the principle to it and select the most appropriate answer for question among the four choices given.
LEGAL PRINCIPLES:
(1) Master is liable for the wrongful acts committed by servants, in the course of their employment if third employment if parties suffer damages in consequences.
(2) However the master is liable if the wrongful act committed by the servant has no connection whatsoever with the servant's contract of employment.
(3) If a person by an act lowes the reputation of another in the eye of right thinking people, then the person who suffered loss of reputation can sue for damages.
FACTUAL SITUATION: Tiwari is a servant of Ajit, on his way to Ajit's house to report for duty, he goes to have a cup of coffee. There he sees Singh and accuses Mr. Singh of being a dishonest person. Mr. Singh wants to sue Ajit, as Tiwari is Ajit's Servant. Decide.
Report Question
0%
Ajit is liable because Tiwari defamed Singh.
0%
Ajit is not liable as the defamation was not in the course of Tiwari's employment.
0%
Ajit is liable even though the defamation was not in the course of employment.
0%
None of the above.
Explanation
The principle of respondeat superior states that the master is vicariously liable for the acts of his servant in the course of employment. The term 'course of employment' has three main requisites:
(1) the act must be committed while acting on the instructions of the employer.
(2) the employee is carrying out some work that is going to benefit the employer
(3) the employee did not do the act in personal capacity.
In the present instance not only was the act committed by Tiwari in his personal capacity but also before he entered workplace to get his assigned work. Therefore, he did not act in course of employment.
Given below are Legal Principles followed by a Factual Situation. Apply the principles followed by a factual Situation. Apply the principle to it and select the most appropriate answer for question among the four choices given.
LEGAL PRINCIPLE: A present is not liable for a tort committed by his/her child except when the parent, affords the child an to opportunity to commit the tort.
FACTUAL SITUATION: A mother takes her 7-year-old son to market. On reaching the market she shuts the car ignition, pulls the handbrake and puts the car in gear. She leaves her son in the car itself. The child starts playing with the car, he releases the brakes and pushes the gear lever to neutral. As a result, the car starts moving down the road and runs down a pedestrian.
Question: What is the liability of the mother?
Report Question
0%
The mother is not liable because she took great care to ensure that the car would remain stationary
0%
The mother is liable because she was negligent
0%
The son is liable because his action caused accident
0%
The pedestrian is liable as he should have been careful while walking on the road
Explanation
In common law regimes, vicarious liability is not imposed on the parents for the wrongful acts of the child. But an exception to this situation is when the parent acts negligently on his own. For example, leaving the child with a dangerous thing reasonably knowing that the child is likely to use it. A similar finding applies to leaving cars in the hands of a minor who does not know how to use it carefully.
Given below are Legal Principles followed by a Factual Situation. Apply the principles followed by a factual Situation. Apply the principle to it and select the most appropriate answer for question among the four choices given.
LEGAL PRINCIPLE: Contractual liability is completely irrevalent to the of existence of liability in tort.
FACTUAL SITUATION: A purchased a bottle of ginger-beer from a retailer. As she consumed more than 3/4th of the contents of the bottle, she found decomposed remains of a snail, she fell sick on the manufacturer of what she consumed. She sued the manufacturer of the beer for negligence, through there is no contractual duty on the part of the manufacturer.
DECIDE.
Report Question
0%
'A' cannot sue the retailer.
0%
'A' cannot sue the manufacturer for negligence in the absence of a contract.
0%
'A' can sue the retailer from whom she purchased the beer.
0%
'A' can sue the manufacturer as he had a duty to take care to see that bottles did not contain any other substance than beer and hence liable for negligence of duty.
Explanation
It was established in the case of Donoghue v Stevenson that tortious liability is independent of contractual laibility. In this case too the plaintiff had ordered for ginger beer which was found to contain a dead snail. She sued the manufacturer of the ginger beer bottle. The Court held that although there was no direct contract between the manufacturer and consumer, the manufacturer owed a duty of care towards the consumer and must ensure that reasonable care is taken to avoid any damage or loss to the consumer. Failure to do so results in tort of negligence although there is no contractual relation.

Given below are Legal Principles followed by a Factual Situation. Apply the principles followed by a factual Situation. Apply the principle to it and select the most appropriate answer for question among the four choices given.
PRINCIPLE: Attempt is not an offence until it is an attempt to commit an offence punishable with imprisonment.
FACTS: Z makes an attempt to steal some jewels by breaking open a box, and finds after so opening the box, that there is no jewels in it.
Report Question
0%
Z has done an act towards the commission of theft and therefore is guilty
0%
In the absence of the definition of offence in the stated Principle it cannot be said that Z is guilty
0%
The stated Principle neither defines the offence is punishable with imprisonment. So the position is unclear
0%
Police should arrest Z and produce him before the Magistrate as only the court has the authority to decide his guilt or innocence
Explanation
There are 4 stages of a crime- Intention-- Preparation-- Attempt and Commission.
The first 2 stages are not punishable as only mens reus is involved in the former stages, whereas in the latter two stages actus reus comes into play, Therefore when the act is in the latter two stages then it is punishable.
The legal principle restates the above principle. An attempt is not an offence until it is an attempt to commit an offence punishable with imprisonment.
The principle doesn't state whether the offence is punishable with imprisonment or not.
Option A is not correct because the legal principle doesn't make an act towards the commission of a crime as an offence. It makes attempt to commit a crime punishable with imprisonment as an offence.
Between option B and C, Option C is the better option as it clearly states the reasoning.
Given below are Legal Principles followed by a Factual Situation. Apply the principles followed by a factual Situation. Apply the principle to it and select the most appropriate answer for question among the four choices given.
LEGAL PRINCIPLE: A violation of a Legal Right, with or without damage, gives rise to a tort.
FACTUAL SITUATION: 'A' establishes a coaching class and charges Rs. 5000 per year as fees. 'A's neighbour 'B' establishes another coaching class thereby creating a competition, this forces 'A' to reduce his fees to Rs. 3000 per year.
Question: Can 'A' claim damages from 'B' for the loss caused to him?
Report Question
0%
No, because though there was damage, there was no legal injury
0%
Yes, he can as 'B' has violated his Legal Right
0%
No, 'A' has reduced the fees on his own
0%
None of the above
Explanation
The above case is based on the legal doctrine of Injuria sine damnum which means injury of legal rights without damage. It basically states that infringement of an absolute private right without any actual loss or damage. Here, physical damages or actual loss means loss or damage in terms of health, money, etc.
Therefore, A will not be compensated since his legal rights were not violated even though actual damage/loss was suffered.
