Joe is a carrot farmer in a small farming community where everyone knows everyone. Susan owns the farming land next to Joe's.

One night, after watching an episode of "Animal Rescue" Susan contacted her local RSPCA and agreed to adopt all 25 of their rescued rabbits. The next day, and despite not having a proper fence, Susan releases her 25 new pet rabbits into her beautiful backyard so they can go and explore their new home. Unfortunately, it took less than 15 mins for all 25 rabbits to escape Susan's backyard and into Joe's carrot fields. By the next morning, Joe is shocked to discover that the rabbits destroyed his entire carrot plantation.

ADVISEJoe whether he is able to sue Susan for Negligence (Physical Damage)

Q2) Fred is a tomato farmer in a small farming community where everyone knows everyone.

Following his first ever locust infestation, Fred decides to take extreme action by hiring Tim, a professional crop duster, to spray pesticide over his tomato crop. On the day, Tim warns Fred about the risk of pesticides impacting neighbouring farms (eg that the spray could be carried down-wind to nearby farms etc). Despite the warning, Fred instructs Tim to 'just get on with the job'.

A week later, Fred is shocked to find one of his neighbours, Susan, crying on his porch and informing him that, although her farm was not physically exposed to any pesticides.. Victorian law prevents the importation of organic foods that were grown within a 75km radius around crop dusted pesticides... and as a result, she is now banned from selling her organic lettuce to her biggest client in Melbourne.

ADVISESusan whether she is able to sue Joe for the $150,000 loss she sustained under her contract with the Melbourne client
