Task 2
Naseem who has begun to work as a market trader, bought several items from Rashid, a market trader who is retiring. Naseem has
experienced the following problems with the items bought:
• The Mercedes van which Rashid sold for £2000 has proven to be totally unroadworthy. When Naseem took the van to the
mechanic workshop for repair he was told the engine was actually a Mitsubishi engine which was liable to fail at any time
• Naseem bought Rashid’s stock, including a box labelled Casio Digital Watches. When Naseem displayed the watches for sale,
his customers pointed out that the watches were not digital watches
• A tarpaulin which Naseem bought has been seized by the police because, unknown to Rashid, it was one of a consignment
stolen from the manufacturer. Naseem has asked Rashid for a refund.
Naseem has agreed with Rashid to pay for the items by instalments. The contract for sale includes a clause: “all instalments must be
paid by the due date”.
‘. Naseem has paid all instalments by their due date but was late for the final payment. Before he makes the final
payment, however, Rashid terminatedthe agreement and sued him for damages for breach of contract.
Task 3
The Government’s plan to impose a new contract on junior doctors from August 2016 has created a row between health
professionals and politicians.The contract will reclassify doctors’ normal working week to include Saturdays and up to 10pm every
night of the week except Sunday. Doctors argue they will lose out financially as evenings and Saturdays will be paid at the standard
rate rather than a higher rate. The dispute escalated in the summer of 2015 as ministers said they would impose the deal, which plans
also to scrap automatic annual pay rises. In November 2015, about 45,000 junior doctors in England voted overwhelmingly in favour
of strike action. Then Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, offered junior doctors an 11 per cent rise in basic pay and new safeguards to
prevent them working dangerously long hours, in an attempt stop the strike. Proposed industrial action and subsequent discussions
have however failed to break the deadlock and the British Medical Association has described the new contract as “fundamentally
Task 4
East London Tourshas been contracted to provide an educational tour of Oxford University to a number of college students and
teachers. The company provided a coach for the tour, but the driver, Ade was reckless and crashed the coach on the way to Oxford.
The crash was due to Ade’s dangerous driving.
Ade had instructed all the passengers to fasten their seat belts before they set off. During the journey, however, Charles, one of the
teachers, had unfastened his seat belt because he felt uncomfortable. Charles was severely injured in the crash. There was evidence
to show that his injuries would have been minor if he had worn his seat belt. Shanice, another teacher, was uninjured in the accident
and remained seated until the paramedics arrived. She told the paramedics that she wished to leave the coach to get some fresh air.
The paramedics warned Shanice that for her own safety she must not leave the coach until they had examined her. Against this advice,
she attempted to exit the coach. Because the passenger door was unusable due to the collision, she used the rear door, which had a
very high step down to the ground. As she was stepping down she fell and suffered a broken hip. Both Charles and Shanice are
planning to sue East London Tours (or their insurers). Advise them of any claims they may have and any defences they may be met
with.
