How to use this volume
Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.
SECTION I
Q.1 Write any six of the following in not more than two sentences.
12 marks
1.State two reasons for the establishment of the Admiralty Court.[2]
Answer
The Admiralty Courts were provided for by the Charter of 1683, granted by Charles II, and the first was set up at Madras in 1686. Two reasons for their establishment were:
- To suppress interlopers and enforce the Company's monopoly. The Company had been given power to seize unlicensed English traders who were breaking its trading monopoly, and it needed a court competent to try and condemn them and their vessels.
- To try maritime and mercantile causes, including piracy, trespasses, injuries and wrongs committed on the high seas, which no existing court at the settlements had authority to hear.
