Can anyone Help me with this. True or False Answer
1.A precedent is a decision made by a judge in court with sufficient authority to serve as an example to be followed by other judges. Lower courts follow the decisions made by judges in higher courts
2.The principle of "stare decision" is a fundamental aspect of the doctrine of judicial precedent whereby the courts follow earlier decisions. It means "look intently at the decision"
3.Civil laws relating to wrongs or harm done by one person to another person or his/her property is known as the 'law of torts'
4.There are a number of individual torts including negligence, nuisance, trespass, defamation, and the most common of all, invasion of privacy
5.If the nature of an act or omission is recognized by the law as being a tort, the person causing the harm is liable for the consequences in a civil action
6.Liability in contract, criminal law, or breach of some statutory obligation may render a person liable for his/her acts or omissions independent of liability in tort
7.Private nuisance concerns the rights of the public's use of land such as blocking a highway
8.If a person who occupies land unreasonably interferes with an occupier of nearby or neighboring land and his/her proper use and enjoyment of the land s/he occupies, then that unreasonable interference is the tort of public nuisance.
9.The common law only developed two forms of trespass, 'trespass to goods' and 'trespass to land'
10.The Accident Compensation Act 2001 compensates for accidental injury to persons without them having to prove their injuries were caused by someone's fault such as a negligent employer, and having to sue for damages in court.
11.The 'no fault' compensation scheme of the Accident Insurance Act 2001 allows injured parties to be compensated for their injuries but effectively removes their right to sue the person who caused their injuries, unless they are claiming "exemplary damages"
12.'Trespass to the land' only gave rise to a civil action until the Trespass Act 1980 was enacted
13.Negligence is a word used in the legal sense that in the ordinary sense of the word means carelessness. Basically a person who is careless thereby causing harm to others by his/her acts or omissions may be held liable for the consequences.
