Since the question is technically whether tort law ensures reparation, do we have to give suggestions for reform if we find that it does not?

When comparing the negotiation to a "proceeding in trial", do we need to calculate specific damage amounts and go into detail about how the trial would go based on the facts, or just generally a light comparison to how the negotiation went from our perspective?

# data[].attributes.body
In the brief it mentions to talk about the outcome compared to a trial. It then says to use westlaw as a source of cases. Are we meant to give a legal analysis in this essay, or are we supposed to talk about the risks of having to pay the opposing party's costs etc?

What was the average mark for the problem question?

Do we need to include a conclusion as these essays have a lower word limit?

When will we receive marks for the problem question? :)

Can we use first person when answering the topic for the essay? Eg: "Based on these findings, I believe...". Or should we use "The author believes..."?

For the public authorities topic, I have solely focussed on negligence imposed by common law to evaluate whether tort is compensatory.

Is this sufficient, or do i need to also mention breach of statutory duty and breach of human rights?

Can we shorten the topic names? for example, Liability of public authorities to LOPA? also, can we shorten public authorities to just PA?

Could you please elaborate on what is meant by "distinguish evidence-based claims from unfounded assertions"? I'm not clear on how to go about this.

When the assessment brief refers to 'norms', is it referring to the 6 different type of norms we considered at the beginning of the term, or are we meant to discuss a specific aspect of each norm? For example on the document we completed, the 'communication norm' had four different elements within it. Do we chose one of those elements or the whole of communication?

# data[].attributes.body
The brief says to consider the 2 most important norms, is it worth analysing 3 norms from week 2 firm meeting list and then in our conclusion state the 2 most important?

# data[].attributes.body
The brief says that we should use two or more of the three topics, but should we be constructing arguments based on tort as a whole and then supplementing arguments with these specific topics or should our evaluations only be limited to psychiatric injury/public authorities/ Liability of Employers? hope this makes sense

Can we reflect on previous experiences? like the negotiations from contract law or comparing teamwork this year compared to year one?

Public authority and the roles of HRA/ECHR/ECtHR

# data[].attributes.body
Regarding public authorities, can we discuss the role of the ECtHR and the HRA in relation to ensuring reparations for tort and how both can make public authorities' answerable?

If two different chapters, written by two different authors, within the same edited book have been used, do we include the book just once in the bibliography or twice but showing each chapter and the different author each time?

# data[].attributes.body
Are we expected to focus on case law completely, as this is where most developments seem to occur, or do we also need to include legislation?

# data[].attributes.body
Should we only be evaluating the current law or should we include potential reforms, similar to last years project?

Also, should we be comparing the two areas of tort law or should they be addressed separately?

# data[].attributes.body
The brief states we should evaluate the tort law for at least 2 of the topics, do you think it's better to evaluate all 3 of the topics or just 2 in more depth? Thanks

I am finding it really challenging to know where to begin with the research essay.

I have done some research on each of the topics but am not sure how to structure my essay in order for my chosen topics to work cohesively together.

Can we we use acronyms of 'C' and 'D' for 'the claimant' and 'the defendant' to save on word count?

1. For the problem questions, since we're essentially giving different claimants advice, do we have to address our answers to each claimant, or give a general overview of the law in relation to each of the questions?
2. If we ARE addressing the advice TO each of the claimants, should we go over older case law for a general overview, or just the relevant applicable law to the claimants?

- Remember to read the assessment brief carefully.
- Don't forget our assessment surgeries scheduled on your timetables from Weeks 8-11.
- We can't answer questions relating to the legal issues in the problem question. That is the task.

I was wondering for the problem question, are we expected to use the occupiers liability act to talk about duty of care or should we try and focus more on using case law?
