-
Evaluating negligence and occupiers' liability
What 'floodgates' concern arises in negligence?
Show the answer
That recognising duties too widely — especially for economic loss or psychiatric harm — could open the floodgates to large numbers of claims, which is why courts restrict these categories. -
Evaluating negligence and occupiers' liability
Why is the limited duty to trespassers under the 1984 Act generally regarded as fair?
Show the answer
Because trespassers enter without permission; cases like Tomlinson emphasise personal responsibility for obvious risks, preventing occupiers from bearing excessive burdens.

How the guide is worked
Answering a question from memory stores it far better than reading the answer again. The guide runs that as a fixed procedure on one subtopic at a time, about twenty minutes a session.
-
Step 1 · Closed book
Cover the answers. Work through one subtopic and write down what you can. Leave blanks where you have nothing.
-
Step 2 · Open book
Go back to the top. Read each printed answer and write it out in full, including the ones you had right.
-
Step 3 · Closed book again
Same questions, same order, from memory. The gap between pass one and pass three is the session result.
Read the full method, the return schedule and the research behind it.
