I actually read that this morning. We don't quite have delict this term, we do it later in more detail, so I may survive. We briefly did it in Criminal Law/Private Law. I do hope I can scrape passes in this exams...

[Betti911]

Its a really good case to know back to front. We had to learn huge quotes from it for our 1st year exams.

Criminal law is a rotten exam. It seems easy at the time as its quite interesting but loads of people in my class failed. Its much easier in real life.

Am having a bad afternoon at work. A young boy (aged 5) peed in my office today. Kids these days.

[Gigglyboots]

Yes.. I have 69 pages of typed lecture notes, and so many cases. It's fine enough knowing what the crimes are, but knowing authority for everything is a bit of a nightmare.

Crikes, I wouldn't have liked to clean that up.

Can somebody explain to me what the hell the Donoghue v Stevenson case is?

[MK Chris]

Looks like someone found a rotting snail in their ginger beer and took the manufacturer to court.

[Gigglyboots]

Yes, I think they claimed it caused them shock and gastric problems. I think previously, the manufacturer couldn't be held liable, but in this case they were. It's really not something I had to go into.

I get the joys of statutory interpretation and the Scottish Legal System today. I have 25 cases written on the fridge so everytime I want food/chilled alcohol I have to read them

[Sidders]

So who won? I'm intrigued.

[MK Chris]

YI think previously, the manufacturer couldn't be held liable, but in this case they were.

Read the information Sidders.

[Sidders]

Ah, sorry. Not up to scratch on all this legal jargon.

[MK Chris]

What liable?? Are you kidding?

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Its one of the most significant cases in Business Law. Basically its the starting point.

[Sidders]

What year was that?

[MK Chris]

Look up on it yourself you lazy bastard.

[Sidders]

Can't be arsed with that.

[Gigglyboots]

Westlaw Sidla, Westlaw..

It's got most of the UK cases on it.

[Sidders]

Nah, you have to sign up. Sod that.
