Are people covering infliction of emotional distress within trespass?

I would. It has been part of a problem question at least twice from what I remember. A person who faked their own suicide at a former BF's wedding and there is another one I can't recall details of right now. It is short enough, remoteness, causation etc all roll into it.

Can anyone recall any problem scenarios in recent papers concerning Rylands?

The only one I can think of is the question where that teenager threw a ball over the hedge onto a road and caused a car to crash. Don't even know if that was Rylands though, brain is scrambled

Anyone have an up to date tort grid please???

I do, pm me your email.

Rylands is accumulating something potentially dangerous on your land, then if it runs off and causes harm you're liable, look out for anything in the q about stockpiling petrol or water and it causing damage to a neighbour or running off onto a road and causing a crash.

Ahhh. Accumulation as opposed to a mere action that caused something to exit your property. The point has finally hit home. Thank you!

Not sure if it will be helpful or not, but in the yet to be decided SC UCC v ESB last year, it was argued to extend the current duty of care to a duty not to make things worse. Not yet recognised anywhere, but commented on that given environmental impact of business etc it was could not be completely discounted as a consideration.

Just some fodder.

Crazy amount of topics to cover in Tort! I'm getting constitutional flashbacks all over again

User name says it all, you've got this.

Was very thrown today when I got my blackstones in the exam, they had cut off the ends of all my tabs because I had written TFEU or what directive it was on some of them. But I’m sure the person beside me had writing on their tabs?

Can anyone clarify if you’re literally not meant to write anything on the tabs? They didn’t say anything to me at the desk when I handed it in which I thought was weird as well, it was quite noticeable

Writing is prohibited. The rules state highlighting and underlining only.

Vicarious
Various Claimants v Barclays Bank - English case, Court of Appeal extended VL to independent contractors. I actually just googled this and I see it went to the Supreme Court late last year but I can't find anything to show if they have given their judgment yet or not. Anyone else have anything on this?

Green v Hardiman and O'Sullivan v Ireland - 2019 SC cases found time ran once P read an expert report, not when damage occurred

Regarding the first case, SC were hearing it on the 12th Feb so I don’t think you’d need to be aware although I can’t find the decision anywhere either!

Am I right in saying Employer's Liability came up last sitting?

Yeah with products I believe

Yeah I think you could answer on either, just making sure. I don't know why but I really don't want to cover Employers!

Me neither, I didn’t make any notes on it. Too late now, will be scant on professional too

Yeah I'm the same, my knowledge of professional will only be good enough to scrape a 5th Q if badly stuck

I think five solid questions is a luxury tbh. I got it in criminal last week and it really hampered my feelings after company and EU when I only got 4 strong and one weak. Need to remember I was only confident in three questions with two wing-it questions when I took constitutional last sitting.

I came out with 55 there so it can be done!
