A-Level Law: Occupiers' Liability Key Case & Statutes Table - Eduqas Tort Law

Topic: Occupiers’ Liability (1957 & 1984)
Exam Board: Eduqas
Paper: Paper 2 & 3

This case table contains the must know cases and statute section for occupiers’ liability. These are the ones that will appear in every scenario question for occupiers’ liability and are the ones all students will have to know.

The two key cases are:

Addie v Dumbreck (1929)
Wheat v Lacon (1966)

The four key sections are:

Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957, s 1(1)
Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957, s 1(3)(a)
Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957, s 2(2)
Occupiers’ Liability Act 1984, s 1(3)

There is space to fill in the facts and ratio for the cases and the law for the statutes.

Students can complete this as a starter activity as part of a revision lesson or as a homework task.

I get students to complete as much as they can from memory and then complete the tables with notes as part of revision.
