The coursework assessments details can be accessed here.

Remember, you need to answer ONLY ONE QUESTION, and can choose either. There is a 3,500 word limit for each.

The electronic submission deadline is TO BE ADVISED, and the Canvas submission box will be set up in due course.

Please note, that the usual 3 week turnaround for marks will not apply to this submission, as this is not formative assessment, but rather, this is the end of module assessment.

Question One:

In the case of Attorney General of the Virgin Islands v Global Water Associates Ltd (British Virgin Islands) [2020] UKPC 18, 2020 WL 03962287 (the GWA case), the court had to consider the question of remoteness of damage in contract law, and look closely at the common law rules on remoteness established by past case law.

Analysing the judgement in the GWA case, critically consider how the court follows and applies past precedent cases to reach its decision on the facts of the case before it.

Question Two:

In terms of the development of the law around employment status, compare and contrast the decisions and the judicial reasoning in the two recent cases of:

The Independent Workers Union of Great Britain v The Central Arbitration Committee v Roofoods Ltd t/a Deliveroo  – [2021] EWCA Civ 952, 2021 WL 02581409

AND

Stuart Delivery Ltd v Warren Augustine – [2021] EWCA Civ 1514, 2021 WL 04847307
