CASE 1
A teacher is doing project work with a class of ten-year-olds and gives a pair of
scissors to each group. Unfortunately, one of the girls is severely injured by a pair of
scissors and the girl’s parents claim compensation.
Your decision
Should the family get compensation? If so, how much and who should pay? Is the
teacher in any way responsible?
CASE 2
Mrs. Anderson is driving her car, keeping to the speed limit, when a dog suddenly
runs across the road in front of her. She brakes to avoid the dog. A man in a Jaguar
behind her, driving quite fast, crashes into her and causes a lot of damage. Both
drivers are slightly injured.
Your decision
Who is to blame for the accident? Should Mrs. Anderson have braked to avoid the
dog? Who should pay for the damage?
