A-Level Law: Vicarious Liability Lesson - Eduqas Tort Law

This is a vicarious liability lesson designed for the Eduqas A-Level specification.

This lesson would also suit other exam boards such as AQA although evaluation points would need removing.

Contains more recent updates from Muhammad v Morrisons and Barclay’s Bank

The lesson is designed to be taught over several lessons (it should cover at least a week of content)

It is designed to fit after psychiatric injury in your scheme of work, if you have taught something differently in the previous week you will need to update the first starter activity.

There are two practice questions (one scenario & one evaluation) each with an essay plan on the next slide.

Note: The beaver indicates cases that students must know for their exam!
