    Sir, generally it is for the claimant to prove that the defendant was in 
    breach of the duty of care.
    Exceptionally the defendant will have to prove that he was not negligent.  This 
    will only occur if:
    • the harm would not have normally happened if proper care were taken
    • there is no other explanation for what has occurred, known as res ipsa 
    loquitor, the thing that speaks for itself
    • the defendant was in control of the situation and the victim was not.

    My question is that do all the above 3 conditions need to be satisfied?

    Of course – it doesn’t make any sense to isolate them and consider them as separate fundamentals
