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.

I get students to complete as much as they can from memory and then complete the tables with notes as part of revision.
Topic: Vicarious Liability
Unit: Tort Law
Exam Board: Eduqas
Papers: Paper 2 & Paper 3
This case table is a great revision resource for A-Level law students. It contains gaps to fill in the facts and legal principle for the key cases for vicarious liability.

Cases included:
The Christian Brothers (2012)
Mohamud v Morrisons Supermarket Plc (2016)
Various Claimants v Barclay’s Bank Plc (2017)
How I Use This Resource
I give the sheet to students and give them five minutes to complete as much as they can by themselves without notes.
I then give them a further five minutes to work as a group.
They can then complete the table with notes if there are still gaps.
I usually have the table on the board and fill it in throughout if students as me for clarity or shout out any answers! By the end of about 15 minutes every students should have a completed sheet.
This handy flow chart will help students work through the various elements of greivous bodily harm when studying criminal law.
It is bright and colourful and they can stick it in their revision notes, or you can just post it onto Teams/Classroom etc. for them to copy.
Really helpful when they are starting to structure lessons on the OAPA 1861.
Designed for A-Level Law, Eduqas syllabus but suits any A-Level law course or BTEC.
