Contracts and Torts.
(Only eight questions to be answered.)
| 1. | A contracts with 13 to pay money to C. Can C, under any circumstances, acquire a right against A on such a contract? Can you compare the English rule on this point with that of any other country? |
| 2. | What is a "common carrier"? What arc his principal obligations? and how far may they be modified by special contract? |
| 3. | When are contracts of a corporation said to be ultra vires? In what circumstances may ultra vires contracts be enforceable? |
| 4. | What is a wager? Give a synopsis of the law applicable to agreements of this character. |
| 5. | Discuss the conditions under which one person may become liable for a tort committed by another. |
| 6. | A (landlord) and B (tenant) enter into a lease of land for a term of years with a rent reserved. What is the measure of damages when (1) A refuses to give possession, (2) B deserts possession and refuses to pay rent? |
| 7. | Give examples of "that redress of private injuries which is obtained by mere act of parties." |
| 8. | What are the remedies sought by actions of debt, covenant, assumpsit, trespass, trespass on the case, and replevin? |
| 9. | Interest reipublicœ ut sit finis litium. Show how this principle is applied in English law. |
| 10. | What are the risks usually insured against in an ordinary policy of marine insurance? and what are its implied conditions? |
