On my flight today I witnessed a disgusting display of entitlement. Or I don't care if an officer of the law died in the line of duty.

Shortly before landing the pilot came on the intercom to announce the start of our descent. He also informed us that we were carrying the family of a state trooper killed in the line of duty. The pilot requested that we as passengers please remain seated as the state patrol had an honor guard waiting on the terminal to receive the family.

Shortly after the announcement a man in the row in front of me pressed the call button. When the flight attendant arrived he calmly, but still rudely, told her that has a connection at the top of the hour and that if he and his two daughters, watching this exchange as well, didn't make that connection that "there will be hell to pay." He also pointed out that he spends thousands with this airline. He then told the flight attendant that she has to inform all of first class that they can't stand until he and his daughters get out.

The flight attendant rightly refused, to which he replied by saying that they will be getting out before the family because it's ridiculous that the airline is detaining him so they can let this family off first. The flight attendant informed him that was his decision to make but that the request came from the State police, not the airline. He again demanded that his family be let off first.

Once we got to the gate the man immediately stands and grabs their luggage, sets it in the aisle, grabs his late teens daughters and runs to the door.

[UK Employment law] Duty of care in the workplace.

A friend of mine has suffered seizures twice at work of as yet unknown cause. The second was more serious than the first with him being confused and unable to identify familiar people for nearly and hour. On both occasions he was simply moved into the mangers office and left, at no point were paramedics or any other medical professionals called and he was send home with instructions "to see his doctor." My question is, does the employer have a duty of care that they should have called an ambulance or doctor. This seems very irresponsible that they did not.

Also, are the employer required to pay sick pay for time off relating to this problem.

Can anybody help a first year law student with tests for Duty of Care?

Having a bit of trouble understanding the categories for testing duty of care. The categories are:

  • Established categories
  • Categories with special rules
  • Novel categories

My main issue is identifying which scenarios fit into which categories, any help would be greatly appreciated! WA Law if that helps

Duty of care existing under the common law precedent?

I am revising for the exams and I am not sure about which precedent to use, if there is an existing duty of care, for example doctor-patient, employer-employee, parent-child, etc.

Normally, when establishing whether there is a duty of care, we use the Caparo Test from Caparo v Dickman.

However, in the cases above we already know the duty exists and we do not need to establish it, because it's given by the common law. We definitely did not cover cases for each of those situations, and all I can think of is Donoghue v Stevenson, as I suppose the relationships are proximate and fall within the neighbour principle.

Any thoughts on that?

Do Dominants have a duty of care to their submissive?

My first Dom was very explicit about feeling this way, and always treated me accordingly even at times when things weren’t going great. I’ve since thought that this was a thing that all good Doms feel that they have, but now I’m questioning that.

[Question, UK law] Regarding duty of care/act

I'm trying to answer a hypothetical case, but one of the facts of the case is really causing me problems:

2 children die due to poisoning from consuming a deadly mushroom on the way home from school. They complain to their nanny that they have a stomach ache, but don't tell her about them eating anything. The nanny sends them to bed early but does not call an ambulance (as she didn't think the stomach ache was major enough). The children die 1 hour later

Under the assumption that calling the ambulance would not have saved the children: Is the nanny guilty of gross negligence manslaughter?

I think its no, but I couldn't for the life of me find the right law regarding caretakers acting in loco parentis for this situation.

Bonus question: would the fact that the nanny was employed by the kid's parents make the parents vicariously liable for her negligence, as according to the law of agency?

Can someone who made threats followed by β€œin Minecraft” or β€œin Call if Duty” still be punished by to the fullest extent of the law?

I’m gonna do my best to avoid the FBI watchlist here, but I’ve seen on social media platforms where people make a clear as day threat against other humans, or politicians, or government agencies, but they would follow up with β€œin Minecraft” or β€œin Call of Duty”.

My question is would clarifying that any threat issued to someone being meant during a video game session still be considered a terroristic threat?

If it’s not a threat, could someone still be charged with making terroristic threats if the person receiving the threats doesn’t happen to play that particular video game?
