(ii) Tony, an antique dealer, displays an old military knife with a spring opening device in his shop window with a price ticket attached to it.

(iii) Fola buys an unopened box of kitchen utensils from a car boot sale. Without examining the contents closely she donates the box to a charity shop.

Question 2

Critically analyse the case and say whether or not you think that the plaintiff will succeed under the tort of negligence:

John was the batsman in a cricket match. He hit the ball so hard that it went over the brick wall that surrounded the cricket ground over the road outside and hit Mr Smith, who had just opened the front door of his house. Mr Smith sued the cricket club for negligence. Mr Smith had a nasty injury on his head caused by the ball. It was stated in court that the ball had been hit over the wall only three times in the last ten years.
