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

1.How tort is distinct from breach of contract?[2]
Answer
The difference lies in the source of the duty and in who it is owed to.
In tort the duty is fixed by law, is owed to persons generally, and is therefore a right in rem. In contract the duty is fixed by the parties themselves, is owed only to the other contracting party, and is a right in personam.
Two consequences follow: damages in tort are always unliquidated, assessed by the court, while in contract they may be liquidated by the agreement; and in tort no privity is required, while in contract a stranger to the agreement cannot sue on it.
