Regarding the case of R v Oll (1994), how would the court know who to convict in the case of corporate manslaughter? (Especially in a large organisation where there are multiple in-charge)?
Just out of curiousity in regards to murder, how would the prosecutor know when you originally had the idea of murdering someone , to know when ‘the year and a day’ has been surpassed? I mean all you have to do is lie to save your skin?!! Great exam tips though!
@cecel, Lie?!!! People don’t lie – that would be wrong! So, if you’re in Court on a murder charge and the judge asks you when you most recently thought of killing your victim, you would tell the truth and say “Just last week, your Honour”
@MikeLittle, i have a weird question, we read so many case laws in f4, for example in contract law 2 people had a verbal acceptance.. how do they prove it? i mean one who is being sued will literally just say i did not accept any offer.. how do judges know those small facts without any evidence, im just so curious, any written proof makes sense but there are just so many cases in which the facts made me wonder why the accused accepted something which would lead him into paying the damages. i know its not relevant but i would like to know.
@captmario, “On the balance of probabilities ….” I think the judges would likely ask themselves “Why on Earth would he do this if the contract he claims to exist didn’t exist?” For example, why WOULD you pay the mortgage on a house if your father hadn’t promised to transfer the house to you? ( Errington v Errington )
sir can you write on the screen for us the cases wen u are quoting so that if i fail to hear you clearly i can read from your screen myself. Very interesting lecture sir thank you very much

Why do you think the Chief Executive is called the Chief Executive?

Hello sir,
Is it in all forms of negligence on the part of an employee that he/she is liable? Or this is has to do with a manslaughter case only?
MikeLittle says
What has this got to do with Salomon v Salomon?
This looks like a question that should have been asked on Ask the Tutor
“Is it in all forms of negligence….” – Is WHAT in all forms of negligence?
When you tell me, tell me on the Ask the Tutor forum

the tutor is using opentuition course notes – and you should use them too, when you are watching the lectures.
tauraiversatile says
Interesting cases, Now should I quote the same cases when I am here in South Africa!
MikeLittle says
@tauraiversatile, If you’re doing the English Law variant then, yes, these are the cases you should quote!
umerkhayam says
Do we need to quote each of case in particular question? Or do we need to even quote a case in company law ? is it necessary?
