NCA Torts Practice Questions - NCA Canadian Tort Law Examination Exam - NCA Torts Practice Questions

Question 1

A plaintiff alleges a novel duty of care in negligence against a regulator. Under Canadian law, what is the correct framework a court must apply to decide whether a duty of care exists?

The Anns/Cooper v Hobart two-stage test: stage one asks foreseeability and proximity; stage two asks residual policy considerations The single-stage 'neighbour' principle from Donoghue v Stevenson alone The Caparo v Dickman three-stage English test applied verbatim A pure foreseeability test with no proximity or policy inquiry

Correct Answer:

The Anns/Cooper v Hobart two-stage test: stage one asks foreseeability and proximity; stage two asks residual policy considerations

Question 2

In Cooper v Hobart, what role do policy considerations play in the proximity analysis at the first stage of the test?

Policy is irrelevant at stage one and considered only at stage two Proximity at stage one may itself involve policy factors that arise from the relationship between the parties, distinct from the residual policy concerns at stage two All policy considerations are collapsed into a single stage Proximity is determined solely by physical closeness of the parties

Correct Answer:

Proximity at stage one may itself involve policy factors that arise from the relationship between the parties, distinct from the residual policy concerns at stage two

Question 3

A homeowner's claim falls squarely within a previously recognized category of duty (a careless driver injuring a pedestrian). What must the court do at the duty stage?

Conduct the full two-stage Anns/Cooper analysis from scratch Refuse to find any duty because each case is unique Recognize that the case falls within or is analogous to an established category, so a duty is established without a full novel-duty analysis Apply only the residual policy stage

Correct Answer:

Recognize that the case falls within or is analogous to an established category, so a duty is established without a full novel-duty analysis

Question 4

What is the standard of care that a defendant must meet in an ordinary negligence action in Canada?

The care a perfectly cautious person would take Strict liability regardless of fault The subjective best efforts of the particular defendant The care a reasonable person of ordinary prudence would exercise in the circumstances

Correct Answer:

The care a reasonable person of ordinary prudence would exercise in the circumstances

Question 5

A defendant is a professional engineer. How is the standard of care adjusted when assessing a professional's conduct?

The professional is held to the standard of a reasonably competent member of that profession The standard is lowered because professionals face complex tasks The professional is held to the subjective standard of their own training The professional is strictly liable for any error of judgment

Correct Answer:

The professional is held to the standard of a reasonably competent member of that profession
