Introduction
This exam concerns a hypothetical fact pattern that involves several tort law issues. Specifically, the case involves a physical altercation between two individuals, Alice and Bob, which resulted in injuries sustained by both parties. The issues to be discussed in this exam include: (1) whether there was an implied by law duty owed by either party; (2) whether Alice had the capacity to commit a tort; (3) whether Alice can claim self-defense; and (4) whether Alice can claim defense of others.
Issue
The first issue is whether there was an implied by law duty owed by either party. Under tort law, there are certain duties that are implied by law, regardless of the parties' agreement. The most common example of an implied by law duty is the duty of care owed by every person to avoid causing foreseeable harm to others. In this case, however, there is no evidence to suggest that either Alice or Bob owed a duty of care to the other, as they were not engaged in any activity that would create such a duty. Therefore, there is no implied by law duty owed by either party in this case.
Rule
The rule that governs the concept of implied by law duty is established in the landmark case of Donoghue v. Stevenson [1932] AC 562. In that case, the House of Lords held that a manufacturer owed a duty of care to the ultimate consumer of its product, even though there was no contractual relationship between them. This case established the principle that a duty of care can be implied by law in certain circumstances.
Analysis
In this case, there is no evidence to suggest that either Alice or Bob owed a duty of care to the other. They were not engaged in any activity that would create such a duty. Therefore, there is no implied by law duty owed by either party.
Conclusion
The first issue is resolved in the negative. Neither Alice nor Bob owed an implied by law duty to the other.
Issue
The second issue is whether Alice had the capacity to commit a tort. Capacity refers to a person's ability to understand the nature and consequences of his or her actions. If a person lacks capacity, he or she cannot be held liable for any tort that he or she commits.
Rule
The rule that governs the concept of capacity is established in the case of McNamara v. Duncan (1921) 122 Atl. 209. In that case, the court held that a person who is insane or mentally incapacitated cannot be held liable for a tort, as he or she lacks the ability to understand the nature and consequences of his or her actions.
Analysis
In this case, there is no evidence to suggest that Alice lacked capacity to commit a tort. Therefore, she can be held liable for any tort that she committed.
Conclusion
The second issue is resolved in the negative. Alice had the capacity to commit a tort.
Issue
The third issue is whether Alice can claim self-defense. Self-defense is a defense to a tort claim that allows a person to use reasonable force to protect himself or herself from imminent harm.
Rule
The rule that governs the concept of self-defense is established in the case of Bird v. Holbrook (1825) 4 B & C 257. In that case, the court held that a person is justified in using reasonable force to defend himself or herself from an attack, provided that the force used is not excessive.
Analysis
In this case, Alice claims that she was acting in self-defense when she struck Bob. She argues that Bob was about to hit her, and that she struck him in order to protect herself from imminent harm. However, there is no evidence to support this claim. Moreover, even if Alice had a reasonable belief that she was about to be attacked, she used

>> ASSISTANT: excessive force in striking Bob. According to eyewitness accounts, Alice punched Bob several times and kicked him after he had fallen to the ground. This level of force goes beyond what is reasonable in self-defense.
Conclusion
The third issue is resolved in the negative. Alice cannot claim self-defense as she used excessive force in striking Bob.
Issue
The fourth issue is whether Alice can claim defense of others. Defense of others is a defense to a tort claim that allows a person to use reasonable force to protect another person from imminent harm.
Rule
The rule that governs the concept of defense of others is established in the case of Ashworth v. Stancliffe [1773] 1 Cowp 416. In that case, the court held that a person is justified in using reasonable force to defend another person from an attack, provided that the force used is not excessive.
Analysis
In this case, Alice claims that she was acting in defense of her friend, Carol, when she struck Bob. She argues that Bob was about to hit Carol, and that she struck him in order to protect Carol from imminent harm. However, there is no evidence to support this claim. Moreover, even if Alice had a reasonable belief that Carol was about to be attacked, she used excessive force in striking Bob. This level of force goes beyond what is reasonable in defense of others.
Conclusion
The fourth issue is resolved in the negative. Alice cannot claim defense of others as she used excessive force in striking Bob.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Alice cannot claim any defenses to the tort claim brought against her by Bob. Although there was no implied by law duty owed by either party, Alice had the capacity to commit a tort. However, she cannot claim either self-defense or defense of others, as she used excessive force in striking Bob. Therefore, Bob is entitled to damages for the injuries that he sustained as a result of Alice's actions.
