CAPE Law Unit 2 · 2011 · Paper 2 · Question 1

While entering the bank compound on a rainy day, he collides with and injures Martha, who is running for shelter. The school disclaims liability for her injury, which Randy considers unfair.

Advise Randy regarding his tortious liability and whether the school's refusal of liability is legally justified, referencing decided cases.
