QUESTION:

ANSWER IN IRAC FORM

Q1: First, you need to establish whether there is negligence in the case of Le Navet and Jamal. You will find the material for this answer in Units 6 and 7. In examining whether there is negligence you need to establish whether there is a duty of care and a breach of that duty. Both are covered in Unit 6. Unit 7 concerns causation, and you need to establish whether the serving of the poisonous mushrooms caused the harm experienced by Jamal. For this, you need to establish whether there is both factual causation and legal causation.

Q2: Second, you need to establish whether Mr Keane negligently caused the injury to Jamal. This part of the question only concerns causation, information for which can be found in Unit 7 of the module materials. For this, you need to establish whether there is both factual causation and legal causation.
