(a) Amanda had just bought and renovated a large house which was converted into student
flats. Because she was running short of money during the conversion, Amanda decided
to buy some second-hand gas heaters which she serviced and installed herself, despite not
being qualified to do so. Unfortunately, one of the heaters malfunctioned, allowing
poisonous fumes into one of the flats. One of the students, Boyd, was killed. His
girlfriend, Celia, was made seriously ill and had to spend weeks in hospital. (6 marks)

Far too early in the morning to be reading all of that!
You should do your own homework or at least put the Q in the homework category
1. I’d Say both. Criminal law to cover manslaughter and actual bodily harm. Civil to cover negligence for fitting the boiler whilst incapable of doing so.
2. Civil law. Breech of contract for not recieving the figures in time. No claim against the mispriced table though. any price is only an invitation to treat not a leagally binding offer.
3. Civil, it is a tort for defamation.
Er. I know you can put your homework questions up here, but you gotta realize the people don’t like doing your homework in the first place, AND reading the whole thing.
