Tort Law Assignment
Students are required to answer TWO out of THREE Questions:
- Richard owns a nice house which has a lovely big garden where he likes to spend his evenings. The garden shares a fence with his neighbour, who loves dogs. In fact, the neighbour currently owns five dogs, which live outside in dog kennels. Richard is very unhappy with the foul smell emanating from the neighbour’s garden. This prevents him from enjoying his evenings in his own garden.
Richard also has his friend Usman visiting him from Pakistan. Usman has an allergy to dog hair. Usman is now claiming that that the presence of so many dogs on the adjacent property gives him an allergic reaction and prevents him from enjoying the garden.

- John was walking one of his dogs when he heard the sound of a car accident, taking place around the corner. On turning the corner, he saw a person seriously injured on the ground with blood pooled around him. John realised that the victim was his friend Boris when he recognised the car. Since seeing this, John has developed anxiety.

- Donald was driving to work when he crashed into a tree. The accident happened because Donald was on his phone to his best friend Lucifer. Donald broke his leg as a result of the accident and was taken to the nearest hospital by ambulance. During the journey, the NHS ambulance driver, Joe, got a phone call from his brother, which he answered. The conversation distracted him from driving which led to a further accident. Donald suffered additional injuries in this accident which eventually led to his leg being amputated.
