thanks for the tips! also, when determining the duty of care for a stat authority, what if the stat authority is related to the plaintiff in more than one way? if for example the stat authority owns a shopping centre.. would i be looking at the tests for a stat authority as well as common law...

ok then i'll give it my best shot :) thanks frigid!

ok i'll go check my law library next week. it's more of how to construct an argument and explain everything within the page limit that i'm worried about.

yeah i've checked the past exam papers... and they don't have past exam answers there :( any other suggestions? i'm quite worried about my assignment... first time writing something like this.

got it! thanks frigid!! i was getting confused over all the various tests and which to apply! also, do you know where can get examples of good torts assignments/exam answers?

thanks hfis! and is the duty of care test for a stat authority the old Donoghue v Stevenson test? or has it changed to McHugh's Crimmins v Stevedoring test?

if i've got a statutory authority that's liable under common law and perhaps a statute, would the statute override common law? or would it work together with common law in that it limits the liability the stat authority would face?

Re: what does this mean? thanks moonlight! i wish the judges could've written what you wrote instead of that longwinded confusing blob! and i haven't done next week's reading on adverse possession yet stop making me panic!

the parts i don't understand are in red.. Jeffries v Great Western Ry. Co Lord Campbell: "I am of the opinion that the law is that a person possessed of goods as his property has a good title as against every stranger, and that one who takes them from him, having no title in himself, is a...

oh man yeah. and all that comparing the author did was for nothing because it got me even more confused. there's another bit in either the same book or some other book comparing the subject with love. yeah miumiu, i checked out the tutorial series and it's much easier to read. simpler language...

great advice from acid!! you really don't need a degree in journalism to be a journalist/writer. you don't even _need_ to be studying what you want to write about (though it will help a bit). i have an IT degree and am a journalist with my local newspaper. i also write for magazines. 99% of...

doh! didn't look under the international section because i'm not really an international student anymore. i think they should really put that on their law subject page (the one i pasted) :/ thanks for spotting that and letting me know. EDIT: just read through the whole program description...

thanks for the advice and for warning me about practicing in another state! i didn't think about that! UQ doesn't have graduate law unfortunately... and their whole pure law program is 4 years long :/ http://www.uq.edu.au/study/program.html?acad_prog=2042 another issue with going to a better...
