Assignment -
An incident involving negligence (a tort) has occurred at the hotel you work for. Your General Manager (GM) of the hotel has requested business advice on law and legal strategy relating to the incident. Each group will present the advice to the GM. During the presentation, groups will be required to answer questions from, and provide advice to, the GM.
Please note: Each group must discuss with the lecturer and create an incident in which negligence has occurred.
Presentations must:
1. Include a general overview of negligence law
2. Determine whether the hotel's legal position is strong or weak, based on
a. the facts of the incident (each group makes up their own facts)
b. any relevant case law (the cases discussed in lectures and in Chapters 4 and 5)
c. any applicable legislation
3. Provide an analysis as to how the hotel should respond to this situation, once the hotel's legal position has been determined. This includes whether, why and how the hotel should adopt a strategy of litigation or alternative dispute resolution.
4. Contain an overview of the financial and other impact of torts on Australian businesses
5. Offer a conclusion detailing specific short, medium and long term strategies that the hotel can implement to avoid a repetition of the negligence from occurring in the future.
Group case: Hotel night bar with dull light, on Saturday night, it was crowded. There was a staff just finished serving another guest on the right hand side with the tray and a cup of hot water on the same hand side, and when she turned around, she pumped into a guest who was talking on his phone and wasn't aware of surroundings. The hot water got spilt on that guest arm and caused a second degree burn. He then wanted to sue the hotel.
