DETAILS
Question 2: This question deals with the topic of Public and Private Nuisance under Torts.
In this question, the act of setting up a tea stall by A amounts to Nuisance and would be classified as Public Nuisance because the interference is caused for the public in general.
An easement is a right to use another's property. It is a right, which the owner of a particular land enjoys over an adjacent property, which he does not possess. In this case, the right of easement cannot be acquired since it’s a public nuisance and one cannot acquire an easementary right over public property.
DETAILS
Question 17-19 are based on the tort of nuisance and the right of easement acquired by prescription.
In question 17, a specific point of law has been provided where determining whether A has acquired prescriptive right to commit nuisance is easy. Although A has been manufacturing utensils for over 20 years, B moved in recently and assuming B has been tolerating the noise for more than 20 years is irrational.
In question 18, it has been asked whether A can take a defense that B should have been careful n should have known about the repercussions of renting the place especially since the noise in that area was from over such a long period of time. B indeed should have been more careful before moving in and hence A indeed can take the defence.
In question 19, the question asks for an overall encompassing decision whether B's action of permanent injunction would succeed. Deriving from question 18's analysis we can easily make out that B's action would fail.
DETAILS
Question 34 is a question of Legal knowledge. The correct answer
option is (d). Here is a brief note on Quasi Judicial body for a better
understanding.
A quasi-judicial body is an entity such as an arbitrator or tribunal
board, generally of a public administrative agency, which has powers
and procedures resembling those of a court of law or judge, and
which is obligated to objectively determine facts and draw
conclusions from them so as to provide the basis of an official action.
Such actions are able to remedy a situation or impose legal penalties,
and may affect the legal rights, duties or privileges of specific parties.
