NB: You do not have to use all the time, and you will not be directly penalised for a presentation below the time limit. However, an unreasonably short presentation may not allow you to present and apply all your arguments thoroughly enough to achieve a grade you may be aiming at. This way, you may be indirectly penalising yourself. If you did not pace your presentation appropriately and had no time to present one or more parts, including conclusion, all those parts are considered not delivered even if they exist on your written document.
The questions will be designed to enable you to demonstrate your knowledge and to test how well you can defend your legal opinions. You are advised to refer to legal authorities and case law when answering the questions.

A meaningful draft for this assignment is a draft which:
NB: copied and pasted paper will be treated as am academic misconduct and referred to the plagiarism officer for investigation; penalties may apply. This applies to all aspects of the written part, i.e. to the scenario, notes (arguments) and/or research.
INTO City, University of London Foundation in English Law Coursework project September 2019 intake Examples of assessment scenarios are below: Example 1: Sandra owns a launderette, ‘Do Your Washing at Sandra’s Place’. She entered into a contract with Jay’s Ltd for a purchase of 10 new tumble dryers. Jay’s Ltd delivered the dryers 3 months later than the date agreed on. Sandra claims that, as a consequence, her company lost £3000.00 in profits. During this 3-month period a nearby laundry service in the community, ‘Enfield Launderette’, suddenly closed down. Sarah therefore believes that if she had received the tumble dryers on time, she would have also made extra profits of £1500.00. Acting as a solicitor, I will advise Sandra on whether or not Jay’s Ltd would be liable for breach of contract and if yes, whether the court would award damages. I will also inform her of how to start a case in the civil courts and the likely outcome of her case. Example 2: James was recently assaulted by one of his football team members, Thomas. He would like to press charges against Thomas. His mother, Mrs Robinson, was told that the physical abuse is actual bodily harm. She is unsure of which criminal court would hear the trial and the procedures that would be followed in court. Acting as a solicitor, I will advise James’s mother on the court that is likely to hear the trial and the procedures that would be followed. Additionally, I will advise her on the likely outcome of her case and possible appeal routes for both parties. Example 3: James was recently assaulted by one of his football team members, Thomas. He pressed charges for actual bodily harm against Thomas. Acting as a counsel for prosecution, I will argue in support of the charges pressed by James and ask for a conviction. Or: Acting as a counsel for prosecution, I will argue against the charges pressed by James. Or: Acting as a judge, I will summarise the arguments against and in support of the charges pressed by James, and pronounce a judgement and a sentence. NB: Please note that in civil cases the judge ‘awards a judgement’ to a party.

For problems relating to Turnitin/Originality Reports, contact intocity.plagiarism@into.uk.com Academic Misconduct in Coursework The University takes a serious view of academic misconduct and will act to ensure that students found breaching its guidelines are dealt with severely. This action can lead to expulsion from the University. This is in the interests of the vast majority of students who work hard for their degree through their own efforts, and is essential in safeguarding the integrity of the University’s awards. You have all received induction in academic integrity and how to avoid poor academic practice and academic misconduct. If you are not sure, please see you Student’s Handbook, Plagiarism Moodle Page or contact Manu Lekunze (plagiarism officer) for details and support. How to avoid plagiarism Producing work with the aim of honesty and respect for academic knowledge INTO City, University of London Foundation in English Law Coursework project September 2019 intake Quoting Never copy anything (including the work of other students) without explicit acknowledgement. Quotation directly from a book or paper is entirely acceptable provided that it is referenced correctly. This means that:
The quoted section should not be too long. For short pieces of work (under 5000 words) it is better to quote a short phrase or a sentence to illustrate your point. It is also a good idea to comment on/interpret the quotation to show you understanding the author’s meaning. INTO City, University of London Foundation in English Law Coursework project September 2019 intake Paraphrasing Paraphrasing means putting someone else’s ideas into your own words. Paraphrasing is entirely acceptable provided that it is referenced. It does NOT mean copying whole sentences or phrases and replacing some words with others of similar meaning. A general rule for acceptable paraphrasing is that an acknowledgement be made in every paragraph. There are many ways in which such acknowledgements can be made (e.g. “Smith goes on to argue that…” or “Smith provides further proof that…”). As with quotation, full details of the source used must be given at the end of the text. Plagiarism can occur through laziness or poor note-taking. It is not enough to just cite an article once and then continue to use it throughout the rest of your work without proper references. If you do not make a correct citation every time you refer to or quote someone else then you are plagiarising. It is also unacceptable to just list material you have read at the end of your work and not in the body of the text itself – you must provide full referencing (in-text referencing) within your work. Note: any student who is unclear about the rules regarding the use and referencing of other people’s work or ideas should seek advice from their Tutor or Plagiarism Officer. Penalties The INTO Study Centre and the University actively pursues all cases of suspected academic misconduct. This safeguards the integrity of its awards as well as the interests of the majority of students who work hard for their award through their own efforts. Decisions on the severity and extent of misconduct are matters for academic judgement. Tutors and examiners scrutinise all pieces of coursework for plagiarism. Where plagiarism is suspected, this will be investigated and may constitute academic misconduct. All Higher Education institutes and universities have different policies on plagiarism and academic misconduct. Students should read these when commencing studies. Please check the INTO City Academic Misconduct Policy for details, or contact Manu Lekunze (Manu.Lekunze@intoglobal.com) or intocity.plagiarism@into.uk.com Assessment marking criteria: Marking criteria: Please read the marking criteria for your coursework presentation below and ask your tutor if you do not understand what a certain criterion involves or what expectations for each criterion are for the level you are aiming at. INTO City, University of London Foundation in English Law Coursework project September 2019 intake Although providing irrelevant information is not penalised, it is not awarded any marks either, and you lose time which should be spent on providing relevant arguments. It therefore has an indirect negative impact on the mark. The marker will pay attention to the following learning outcomes in each criterion. The marker will take into account the number of learning outcomes you achieved in each criterion as well as to the level to which you achieved it. Example of other student’s work, make sure your work is similar to this in this format. Please create a scenario similar to this then later analyze is the same way as the other scenario given: On a Friday afternoon, Bonnie decided to go to Maryland Pharmacy to get an ear piercing. Therefore she scheduled an ear-piercing appointment at 4:30 pm. As soon as she arrived she picked out earrings of her liking and sat down to get her ears pierced then left the pharmacy satisfied with the necessary items to clean her piercing every day. An hour after she left the pharmacy she started to feel a burning sensation around the skin of her pierced area which lasted a couple of hours. Her ear later started to swell and produce yellow discharge so she decided to go to a dermatologist to check her piercing out, she found out that she has gotten a harmful infection that could cause severe scarring due to the needle used by Maryland Pharmacy which was not sterilized. Bonnie decided to sue the pharmacy. Scenario: Josh is an employee at a bank. Everyday he would take the same route on foot to work, as it is the quickest route. On the 13th of January Josh had a very important client who was finalising a transaction which he would receive 25,000 pounds from. On the way to work that morning, Josh passed a building undergoing construction. However, there was no green netting around it to protect pedestrians from falling debris. Unfortunately, a loose brick fell on his foot and he had to go to the hospital to get it operated on. Since Josh was in the hospital, his scheduled client went to another banker to finalise his deal, leading him to lose 25,000 pounds. The claimant will be suing the construction company (the defendant) for £25,000 for negligence due to the fact that they owed a duty of care to him. The company is responsible for the protection of pedestrians from any debris in order to avoid any injuries. Also, he will be claiming for the cost of the operation that he had to undergo for his foot. Acting as a solicitor, I will be advising my client, Josh on his case. All the while addressing the defendant’s breach of duty of care that was owed and the claim for damages under the Tort of Negligence. Role: Solicitor to the claimant
Legal analysis Duty of care: The defendant owes duty of care to claimant
