QUESTION 1 (15 Marks)
On 15 January 2019, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc. (‘Krispy Kreme’) delivered boxes of doughnuts to Osman, the manager and owner of, 7-Eleven Inc., (‘7-Eleven’). Osman noted that the boxes had the following expiry date stamped on the boxes: ‘best before
10 January 2019’. Osman was about to call Krispy Kreme to return the boxes of doughnuts as the best before date had expired five days earlier. However, he became distracted when Isaac, an employee, spilt some orange juice on the floor. Osman placed the doughnut boxes on the counter and told Isaac to mop the orange juice off the floor. Osman was concerned that someone may slip on the wet floor and hurt themselves. Sara, a famous novelist, drove into 7-Eleven to fill her car with petrol. She was slightly tipsy having enjoyed a celebratory wine after coming back from her successful book launch. While filling up the car with petrol, she noticed Isaac mopping the floor in the store. She entered the 7-Eleven store to pay for the petrol. As she walked towards the cash register, Sara slipped and fell down. Sara injured her wrist trying to break the fall. Osman felt bad for her and handed Sara two boxes of doughnuts that had been delivered to his 7-Eleven outlet earlier. Osman also offered to drive Sara to the local doctor, Dr Ozzie.
After examining Sara’s wrist, Dr Ozzie assured
her that the x-ray showed that Sara had
nothing to worry
about. Dr Ozzie
bandaged her wrist
and prescribed some painkillers. Sara thanked the doctor and
handed him the same box of doughnuts which Osman had gifted her earlier. The
doctor took the doughnuts home, but ate them only after two weeks.
In early March 2019, Sara realised her wrist still had not healed and she was in a lot of pain. Sara decided to visit her family doctor, Dr Esha. Dr Esha conducted a CT scan on her wrist and diagnosed that Sara had in fact fractured her wrist. Dr Esha told Sara that in her view, according to current medical guidelines, Dr Ozzie should have performed a proper CT scan and set the fracture using a cast so the wrist could heal quicker. Dr Esha also told Sara that Dr Ozzie should have advised her to come back to his clinic if she was in pain and if the mobility of her wrist did not improve within a week. Due to the delay in receiving appropriate treatment, Sara developed arthritis on her wrist. She is unable to work as a writer. She now wishes to sue Dr Ozzie. Dr Ozzie, is in hospital with food poisoning and he thinks the food poisoning may be due to the consumption of the doughnuts Sara had gifted him.
Advise Sara, Dr Ozzie and 7-Eleven of any rights they may have and if Dr Ozzie and
7-Eleven will be liable under the Tort of Negligence ONLY. Give full legal authority for your answers.
QUESTION 2 (10 Marks)
Kabir wanted to expand his garment business, ‘Kabir Clothing Pty Ltd’ and decided to acquire a competitor’s business in Bankstown valued at $600,000. He required a further $300,000 to acquire the business. Kabir decided to apply for a business loan from the National Australia Bank. As part of the National Australia Bank’s loan assessment process for loan applicants, the bank informed Kabir that they required the latest financial statements from Kabir Clothing Pty Ltd to complete the credit check. The financial statements for the financial year July 2017-June 2018 had not been prepared as his accountant had retired and had closed his business. Kabir decided to engage his uncle, Mr Singh, the principal of a prominent accounting firm, Singh & Associates in Paramatta to prepare the financial statements. Kabir informed his uncle that he needed the financial statements urgently as the National Australia Bank required the financial statements before approving his loan.
Singh agreed to prepare the statements but
informed Kabir that due to the urgent nature of the request, he could only
prepare an initial draft of the financial statement. In his initial draft of
the financial statement, Singh clearly printed the words, ‘DRAFT
FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR 2018’. Singh then handed the draft financial statement to Kabir. Singh had in fact over-valued ‘Kabir Clothing Pty Ltd’ as he had omitted to include the depreciation of fixed assets for the financial year. Although the National Australia Bank does not directly deal with Singh, they are aware that he is a prominent and reputable accountant, who has recently been awarded the title: ‘best business accountant in Paramatta’. The National Australia Bank approved the loan in reliance of the statement prepared by Singh and submitted to them by Kabir. Unfortunately, Kabir’s business ends up making a loss and Kabir Clothing Pty Ltd goes into liquidation.
Advise the National Australia Bank if it can successfully sue Kabir, Singh, and Singh
& Associates? Consider all relevant common law and statute law applicable in relation to the Tort of Negligence in your answer.
