Final Answer :
Here students would be expected to give some examples of legislation that has specifically modified the law of negligence, and how this was done. In the process, students should demonstrate an understanding of the law as it was and indicate how the statute changed those rules. Some examples would be the Occupiers' Liability Act, the Contributory Negligence Act, the Innkeepers Act, and depending on what point in the course this was asked, they might deal with statutes placing duties on directors, partners, merchants, etc.
