The object of Part A of this assignment is for you to develop your skills in reading and summarising a reported case. This is an activity that will occupy much of your time throughout your law degree. If you develop efficiency in this task at an early stage you will save a lot of time and effort later on. Before you start writing your answer to this assignment, carefully readLaying Down the Law11thed, chapter 7 - particularly paras 7.1-7.18 inclusive and Chapters 20 and 21. In particular the exercises at paragraphs 7.10 and 7.10 should guide your approach.
Carefully read the case referred to in the assignment question, and answer the questions that follow. These questions aim to guide you through the steps of case analysis. In answering the questions avoid using lengthy quotations. As a generalisation, you will be better rewarded if you use your own words.
Any quotations or paraphrasing of material contained in the case must be supported by a citation to the case itself or other relevant material. Citations must be provided using footnotes. You should provide a‘pinpoint’reference to the particular paragraph you are discussing, not a general reference to the case in question. Legal works should be cited in accordance with the AGLC. This means you will be referring to the case frequently and there should a minimum of one reference in each paragraph, usually more.
Papers should be written in connected prose.
The challenge is to produce an accurate summary of the judgement in a form that can be understood by a reader who is unfamiliar with the case, within the overall word limit. The judgement may contain terms with which you are unfamiliar. If so, look them up in a legal dictionary.
