19. QUESTION ANALYSIS Question 153: The principle provides for ‘objective causation test’ which means that liability would be determined by first asking the question, ‘had things been different if the defendant had acted legally (reasonably)?” The entire question rested on the reason behind the collision of the ship. Clearly, if we look at the facts, Amar was not qualified and had he completed the course he would have been more serious in discharge of his duties. Moreover, XY seaways, also sent an unqualified officer which is wrong on their part. Apart from these, Amar was negligent in his conduct as he slept off onboard which led to the collision of the ship. This, shows that Amar and XY Seaways are both liable.

20. QUESTION ANALYSIS Question 154: It is one of the difficult and lengthy questions of the portion consisting of 3 principles on the topic of Torts. The first principle deal with liability for negligence. the second principle provides the “reasonable man” principle of acting objectively in all circumstances. The third principle talks about “Act of God” which is a general defence provided in torts. The facts clearly provide that Sachin, Rajat’s neighbor, was worried and has warned Rajat about the danger despite of the precautionary chimney. Hence Rajat was under a legal duty to act so as to avert the danger in case the hay ignited. Principle 2 would have the best application to these set of facts. Mere chimney would not have been the only precaution put up there by an objective reasonable man in Rajat’s place.

21. QUESTION ANALYSIS Question 181-183: This is a must attempt question. Although it has three principles, but the principles are easy to understand followed by a moderate set of facts. It is also an interesting question as the principles take into account Criminal law and constitutional law concepts at the same time. The questions that follow are easy and the answers can be figured out by direct application of the principles. In question 183, the two offences talked about are completely different. Waging war against Indian State and destruction of public property are two entirely different offences and Iqbal has not been punished and prosecuted for the same offence more than once.
