Introduction to Law: cram pack

A seller of land never used for sheep says it could carry 2,000 sheep. Both know he has no experience of sheep farming on it. The statement is most likely:

1. AA statement of future intention
2. BAn honest opinion, not a misrepresentation
3. CA fraudulent misrepresentation
4. DA condition of the contract

Mutual mistake as to the existence of the subject matter (for example the goods no longer exist when contracting) usually makes the contract:

1. AVoid
2. BValid, with compensation set by the court
3. CVoidable at either party's option
4. DFully valid, with the buyer bearing the risk

An employer does not give goggles to a worker already blind in one eye, who loses his good eye at work. Under Paris v Stepney BC, the employer was:

1. ANot negligent, because the risk of an accident was the same for all workers
2. BNot negligent, because goggles were not normally provided
3. CStrictly liable for all eye injuries
4. DNegligent, because the possible harm to this worker was very serious

A surveyor values a modest house for a mortgage lender, knowing the buyer will rely on it. The report is negligent and contains a disclaimer. In Smith v Eric S Bush, the House of Lords held:

1. AThe surveyor owed no duty, because the buyer was not the client who commissioned the report
2. BThe surveyor owed a duty to the buyer, and the disclaimer failed the reasonableness test
3. CThe disclaimer excluded all liability to the buyer
4. DThe lender alone could sue the surveyor

Which ground of judicial review applies when a decision-maker ignores a relevant consideration?

1. AProcedural impropriety only
2. BNone, because courts never review considerations
3. CLegitimate expectation only
4. DIllegality

After a court makes a declaration of incompatibility, section 10 of the UK Human Rights Act 1998 allows a minister to:

1. ARefer the case directly to Strasbourg
2. BOverrule the court's declaration
3. CAmend the incompatible legislation by a remedial order
4. DSuspend the Convention right in question

Two adult friends agree to a fist fight in the street, and one breaks the other's nose. Following A-G's Reference (No 6 of 1980), consent is:

1. AA defence only if the fight was planned in advance
2. BA full defence, because both adults freely agreed to the fight and accepted the risk of injury
3. CRelevant only to the sentence and never to guilt
4. DNo defence, because a street fight causing actual bodily harm is not in the public interest

In R v G (2003), the House of Lords defined recklessness as:

1. AIntention to cause harm
2. BAny careless behaviour
3. CAwareness of a risk that it was unreasonable to take in the circumstances
4. DFailure to notice an obvious risk that a reasonable person would have seen

In Brasserie du Pêcheur and Factortame III (1996), the Court held that state liability:

1. ARequires proof that the state acted intentionally
2. BNever applies to acts of a national parliament
3. CCan arise from acts of the national legislature, if the breach is sufficiently serious
4. DOnly arises from failure to transpose a directive, not from other acts of the national legislature

In Commission v Italy (Art Treasures, 1968), Italy taxed the export of artistic and historical works. The Court held that:

1. AArt is not "goods", so the free movement rules did not apply
2. BThe tax was justified under Article 36 to protect national treasures of artistic or historic value
3. CExport taxes are outside the scope of the customs union
4. DThe tax was a charge having equivalent effect and was prohibited regardless of its purpose
