Part 1
Answer the three questions.
The first two questions are about the scenarios. The scenarios are related.
Amir is a builder who was an employee of Bigbildz Construction. Bigbildz asked
Amir to fit some upstairs windows in a new house. Amir had to use scaffolding
provided by Bigbildz to do the work. While Amir was lifting the window into
place, the scaffolding broke and he fell to the ground. He suffered serious
injuries and property damage. Investigations showed that Bigbildz had used
sub-standard scaffold boards to save money and had not conducted a safety
inspection of the scaffolding. Amir was unaware of this.
As a result of Amir’s fall, his £1000 mobile phone was broken beyond repair. He
sustained serious leg injuries and has been left with a permanent disability.
Amir can no longer work as a builder and has been unemployed since the
incident. He used to earn £1000 a week. Amir also enjoyed playing amateur
football but can no longer play. Bigbildz claim that at the time of the incident,
Amir was wearing his own trainers instead of the work boots they provide. They
suggest that his leg injuries would not have been as bad if he had worn them.
5 Advise Amir whether Bigbildz would be liable if he sues them in negligence.
Do not discuss occupier’s liability, defences or remedies.
6 Advise Amir what remedies he might expect if successful in his claim and
whether Bigbildz has
any defences available. [20]

Charlie owns a car repair garage on an industrial estate. When he replaces a

Charlie has been draining the acid from them into an old oil drum outside his
garage. He intends to use the acid as a weedkiller and pesticide in his garden
at home. One night some local teenagers are filmed on CCTV messing around
outside the garage. One of them pulls the oil drum of acid over. The acid runs
