CASE LAW PRACTICE - SCENARIO #1<br />
A young Mother aged 19 was in an abusive relationship. <strong>One</strong> evening she was scared and went and hid in<br />
her car at night from her partner. She took her baby with her. The baby was three months old. Throughout<br />
the night her partner kept coming outside and kept hitting the car and yelling at her. About 1am he left<br />
her and the baby alone.<br />
Overnight the temperature dropped significantly. The baby ended up dying. After a couple hours of<br />
realising the baby was dead she called the ambulance and explained to them that it had died in the cot<br />
inside the house.<br />
We are trying to figure out who killed the child
SCENARIO #2 - Construction Site<br />
<strong>One</strong> day a father calls up his wife and asks her to bring herself and the kids to his workplace for a picnic<br />
lunch on his break. Once the family enters the work site they walk into an administration building to sign<br />
in. Upon entering this building it is evident that there are many signs around instructing people to put<br />
hard helmets on before entering the site. The wife and her children sign in and negligently were not<br />
offered hard helmets.<br />
Upon entering the site one of the children is hit by a falling brick on top of his head and dies. The mother is<br />
hit by a truck backing out of the site and is severely injured.
SCENARIO #3 - Hospital<br />
A patient requires constant monitoring and suddenly passes away. On the patients notes it is noted that<br />
the patient must be checked on every half an hour. On the patient records it is noted that patient had<br />
been checked on every half an hour. The patient also liked to watch a lot of tv and liked to draw pictures in<br />
their spare time. So the hospital staff were always bringing her lots of videos, pencils and paper. The<br />
patient ended up passing away 22 minutes after their last check up.<br />
Two days prior to their passing the hospital had signed off to lessen the dosage of medication that they<br />
were on.
