Description

PVL3703 Assignment 1 Semester 1 Memo | Due 24 March 2026. THREE ANSWERS PROVIDED. 1. Lalita lives in a student residence. One night, she boils water in a kettle in the communal
kitchen. While the kettle is heating, she notices that the plug is loose and sparking slightly.
However, she brushes it off and leaves the kitchen to quickly grab her laptop from her room. As
Lalita exits, she sees Amir, another resident, walking into the kitchen carrying a bag. Lalita does
not mention the sparking plug to him. A few minutes later, the plug overheats and starts a small
electrical fire. In an attempt to move the kettle, Amir burns his hand, and both his bag and the
kitchen counter are damaged. Subsequently, Amir decides to sue Lalita for his injury and the
damage to his bag. Discuss whether the element of conduct is satisfied in Amir’s delictual claim
against Lalita.
