Prior to the purchase our clients instructed your firm to inspect the property and provide a detailed survey report.The report that you provided mentioned the condition of the roof, but your surveyor concluded that no work would be necessary for a period of 5 years following the date of the inspection. You also assured our clients that a full search had been carried out with the planning department of the county council and that nothing had been discovered that would have a detrimental effect on the property.In reliance upon your report, our clients purchased the property for £79, 950. Regrettable, they have since experienced several serious problems with the property, which are detailed below:•there has been a major leak into the property through the roof, causing significant damage to the interior. This has meant that the effected roomshave had to be redecorated.• a large proportion (30%) of the roof tiles have had to be replaced.•most damaging of all, a new main road is currently being constructed which will adjoin the garden of the property. This will cause much distress andinconvenience to our clients and will significantly reduce the value of theproperty.In our opinion our clients have a very strong case against your firm on the grounds that the survey report you provided to them was negligent. We have advised my clients to seek damages for professional negligence and legal proceedings will be issued in the near future. We ask that you kindly provide us with the name and address of your insurer as we will need to contact them in connection with this matter.Yours faithfullyThomas Bedford.44. relation 49. exchange45. satisfactory 50. substandard46. complicated 51. exceptions47. conversely 52. permit48. contractors 53. arrayQuestions 54-5954.stubborn, difficult to persuade him to change his opinion55.received a very unfavourable deal (usually financial)56.difficult time57.start talking or acting immediately, without thought58.to be undecided about something59.specify, identifyQuestion 60This question involves freehand writing, so there is no one correct answer.

The loan agreement is pretty complicated, so I’ve rewritten it for you. Have a look and if you still don’t understand anything, just give me a ring.See you soon for that beer – I think I’ve earned it!Cheers – Michale.This clause is talking about the things which are considered to be an event of default (that is, not carrying out the terms of the contract properly, so giving rise to the bank being able to end the loan agreement with you). By the way, the Lender is the bank and the Borrower is you.1.The following things are events of default:1.1.if you don’t pay (fail to pay) any amount of money that you have to pay onthe date it becomes payable (due) or according to the terms of this loanagreement1.2.if you don’t do what you’re supposed to, or don’t carry out or follow (complywith) all your duties in the right way and at the right time (duly andpunctually). If you don’t do something (other than not paying money), which the bank thinks can be put right (remedy) the bank can send you writtennotice requiring you to resolve the problem. You’ve then got 7 days fromreceiving that notice to fix the problem in a way the bank thinks is OK. Ifyou don’t resolve it in time, then you will be in default.1.3.This clause is talking about legal action being taken over your business. Itsays that if someone you owe money to (creditor) takes any part of yourassets or business, or if any legal court order is made against you or enforced against your assets or business, then this is an event of default. Execution is where your goods are taken and sold because you owe someone money.There’s an exception here – if you do as the order says and the order is lifted and you are released from it (discharged) within 14 days. You get a longer time period if you’re arguing against (contesting) the order at appeal.1.4.If you stop, or stop temporarily (suspend) paying your creditors, or any groupof them, or if you can’t pay any sums of money you owe (debts) (and thisincludes the case where the law considers (deems) this, even if you thinkotherwise), then this is an event of default. Similarly, if you try to enter into any kind of financial agreement with people you owe money to, or if you are officially declared not to have enough money to pay all your debts (bankrupt) 1.5.The last event of default is if anything happens that the bank thinks is enoughto believe that1.5.1. a significant (material) negative (adverse) change in your business orfinancial situation (present or future) has happened or1.5.2.your ability to carry out your duties under this agreement has been orwill be significantly and negatively affected.。

法律英语考试试题及答案Introduction:Legal English plays a crucial role in the legal profession, as it requires a comprehensive understanding of legal concepts, terms, and vocabulary in both English and the specific legal system. This article will provide a detailed analysis of various legal English exam questions and their corresponding answers. Through this examination, readers will gain a deeper understanding of legal English and enhance their proficiency in this field.Question 1: Explain the term "due diligence" in the context of contract law.Answer:Due diligence refers to the careful and thorough examination or investigation undertaken by a party before entering into a contract. It involves a comprehensive analysis of the terms, conditions, and obligations set forth in the contract. The purpose of due diligence is to ensure that both parties have a clear understanding of their rights and responsibilities, as well as to identify any potential risks or liabilities associated with the contract. By conducting due diligence, parties can make informed decisions and minimize the possibility of disputes or legal issues arising in the future.Question 2: Discuss the concept of "force majeure" in international law.Answer:Force majeure, also known as an "act of God" or "superior force," refers to an unforeseeable event or circumstance that prevents a party fromfulfilling its contractual obligations. These events are typically beyond the control of the party involved and cannot be reasonably anticipated or avoided. Examples of force majeure events may include natural disasters, wars, riots, or government actions. In international law, force majeure clauses are commonly included in contracts to protect parties from the consequences of unforeseen events. These clauses typically provide relief or exemption from contractual obligations in the event that a force majeure event occurs, allowing the affected party to suspend or terminate their obligations under the contract.Question 3: Define the term "judicial precedent" in common law systems.Answer:Judicial precedent, also known as stare decisis, is a fundamental principle in common law systems. It refers to the legal doctrine in which the decisions made by higher courts become binding on lower courts within the same jurisdiction. Under this principle, lower courts must follow the legal reasoning and interpretations of the higher courts in previous cases that are similar in nature. Judicial precedent ensures consistency, predictability, and stability in the legal system, as it allows for the uniform application of the law and the development of legal principles over time. However, it is important to note that judicial precedent can be overruled or distinguished when there are significant differences in factual circumstances or legal principles involved.Question 4: Explain the concept of "vicarious liability" in tort law.Answer:Vicarious liability is a legal principle that holds one party responsible for the actions or omissions of another party, even if they themselves did not commit any wrongdoing. This concept often arises in employer-employee relationships, where employers can be held liable for the actions of their employees performed within the scope of their employment. Vicarious liability is based on the idea that employers have a duty of care to ensure that their employees act responsibly and do not cause harm to others. By imposing vicarious liability, the law aims to provide a remedy for victims and encourage employers to exercise proper control and supervision over their employees.Conclusion:Understanding legal English is crucial for professionals in the legal field, as it enables effective communication and interpretation of legal concepts and principles. This article has provided an insightful analysis of various legal English exam questions, encompassing contract law, international law, common law systems, and tort law. By gaining a comprehensive understanding of these topics, aspiring legal professionals can enhance their knowledge and proficiency in legal English, thus paving the way for successful careers in the legal industry.。
