Document Summary

False: omikron ltd hired mekhi, a recent graduate from law school, to act as its lawyer in a business 43) transaction. Omikron suffered a substantial financial loss as a result of a mistake that mekhi made. Nevertheless, mekhi cannot be held liable for the tort of negligence if he acted as a reasonable person with a similar level of experience would have acted, even if a more experienced lawyer probably would have acted differently. False: shakira was injured by the explosion of a widget that was manufactured by delta corp. The 44) evidence indicates that delta was not careless with respect to the manufacture or design of the widget, nor did the company carelessly fail to issue a warning regarding the danger of explosion. Nevertheless, delta may be held strictly liable to shakira on the basis of some other cause of action if she bought the widget from the company.
