Series D02 Law 6/6 - Question 6; Negligent Tort, etc.

Q.
Can you predict what question is going to come out on Negligent and Tort, Strict Liability this year 2015?
(Series D02 Law 6/6 - Question 6; Negligent Tort, etc.)

A.
Based on the past 4 years:

2011 Q8 negligence duty of care - reference to case law
2012 Q7 tort vs contract & elements of negligence
2103 Q6 elements to establish liability under strict liability & public/private nuisance
2014 Q4 professional negligence & distinguish between tort and contract
2014 Q5 developer liability

The topics on negligence is related to tort and liability if damage is proven - hence leading to compensation paid. I would believe each year there is one question on this topic. Recently it came out about developer's liability to defect in construction, hence negligence and compensation claim for strict liability. Similar question might repeat as the topic is important.

Insofar previous questions were repeated extensively on this topic, I suspect that new questions may appear in this year (2015). Inevitably, this topic on tort is definitely wider than originally thought.

1. Strict liability is a tort claim, is it true? And, how does it defer from normal negligence and compensation for damage. If there is harm or bodily injury, is it still tort? Or is it criminal?

2. What is vicarious liability? What are the concepts of vicarious liability?

3. Explain the difference between trespass to land and trespass to person. What has battery got to do with trespass to person?

4. What are the distinctions between libel and slander?

5. List down some of the common defenders against liability in tort. What are the remedies in tort?
