Question 1. Rory was crossing the road, on his way to a business meeting which he expected would lead to a contract which would double the prots of his small printing business. He had checked the trafc before starting to cross, but was knocked down by a motorcycle ridden by Sandy Old who had suddenly come around a nearby corner at excessive speed. Sandy was ung from the bike in the accident and later died, while Rory was seriously injured. Fergus, who was walking down the pavement at the time and saw the accident, did his best to free Rory from the wreckage of the bike, and also to assist Sandy. Rory spent several months in hospital recovering from her injuries. Not only did she miss her business meeting and lose the new contract, but she had been unable to carry on her existing business while she has been injured. Fergus has been very nervous and upset since he witnessed the accident; he has been unable to concentrate at work and has now lost his job. The accident has also had a profound effect on Mrs McMoan, an elderly widow who lives on the same street. She went to her window when she heard the crash and saw the ambulance taking away the victims, and later the blood being cleaned from the street. Since then she has been very depressed and refuses to leave her house. Rory, Fergus and Mrs McMoan are all suing Sandy's estate. Advise Sandy's executor as to any potential liability
