eriverpipe	Amanda says that Mr Thompson may have something in his workshop in the garden and that she is sure he won’t mind if they have a look. This is the key. Amanda is exceeding her duties as an au pair. As an au pair she has no reason to be in the garage, and the Thompsons would not expect their au pair to go into the garage without first consulting them. In inviting Victoria into her employees house without their knowledge again she is outside her rights, and therefore if Victoria has a tort claim against anyone, it must be Amanda.

CeciliaM	Is this a school work assignment? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

callumiain2000	I think this is an OLA question coupled with employers liability and wouldn't agree that George and Harriet are mere distractors although I do agree that they should be eliminated, George by way of novus actus interveniens and Harriet on the principle of Bourhill v Young with a cautious nod to the egg shell principle which itself should be eliminated by the hyper sensitive claimant defence (I can't remember the case for this, something about special printers paper destroyed in a fire) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

J P	First, eliminate all the distractors, such as Harriet, and George. The basic issues are whether the Thompsons owed a duty of care to Victoria, and whether the harm suffered was foreseeable. Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

emanwelgwent	1. So far as I can see nothing in this question relates to Nuisance. 2. The issues you ought to think about in relation to point 1 are: The Occupiers Liability Acts - whether Victoria is a visitor or a trespasser - whether the Thompsons discharged or fulfilled their common duty of care towards her - novus actus interveniens in relation to George - whether Victoria was contributarily negligence (assuming the Thompsons can be held liable at all). 3. If this is an assignment, you probably shouldn't be posting it on YA in the hope of getting an answer. If there is a specific issue you're having difficulty with, then ask about that specifically, setting out what you don't understand. That way answers will be more likely to respond with something other than "do your own homework". Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
