    The student suffered severe burns when another student accidentally bumped into them while they were cooking spaghetti, causing the boiled spaghetti and hot water to spill over their hands. This incident would likely be considered a liability for the school under the duty of care owed to students during school activities. The school would be responsible for compensating the injured student for medical costs and other damages resulting from the burns if it was found to have breached its duty of care.

    Dilemma 5

    On a school trip accompanied by 2 teachers, a group was responsible for their own catering.
    Tasks concerning cooking had been split up among the students. During one evening, they
    were busy with cooking spaghetti. One of the students was about to strain the spaghetti when
    another student incidentally bumped into the student who then poured the boiled spaghetti
    and the hot water over his hands. The student suffered severe burnings.

    Define the term liability


    In the corporate sector, liability definition may take many different forms. A liability,
    broadly speaking, can be anything for which your business accepts responsibility. The word
    "liability" is frequently used to refer to a business's risk or legal responsibility. For instance,
    companies frequently purchase public liability insurance to shield themselves from legal
    danger in the event that a member of the public sustains an injury while on their property.
    However, in accounting, a liability is defined as money or other assets that your firm owes to
    another organization. This might be a supplier, a lender, or even a specific person like a staff
    member. Liabilities are recorded on the right side of the balance sheet in a company's
    business records in contrast to its assets (What Is Liability | Square Business Glossary, n.d.).

    Which type of liability is applicable?


    Liabilities having a one-year due date are considered current liabilities. These mostly
    take place during routine corporate activities. These financial commitments should be
    managed taking into account the company's liquidity because to their short-term nature.
    Obligations that are due after more than a year are referred to as non-current or long-
    term liabilities. It is crucial that the short-term obligations, such as short-term loans or the
    current element of long-term debt, are not included in the non-current liabilities.
    One particular type of liability is contingent liabilities. Depending on how an
    uncertain future event plays out, they are potential liabilities that could or might not
    materialize (Corporate Finance Institute, 2023).

    Which International Convention is applicable in this context and identify the


    appropriate sections?
    The Montreal Convention of 1999 is applicable in this context as it governs the
    liability of airlines in the case of accidents and injuries that occur during international air
    travel. Particularly, Article 17 of the Montreal Convention outlines the carrier's responsibility
    for harm a passenger suffers when boarding, disembarking, or during flight operations.
    Articles 17(1) and 17(2) of the Montreal Convention would probably be pertinent in this
    situation. In accordance with Article 17(1), the carrier is responsible for compensating
    passengers for bodily injury, and Article 17(2) creates a presumption that the carrier is liable
    unless the carrier can demonstrate that the injury was not caused by the carrier's negligence or
    another unlawful act or omission (The Montreal Convention 1999 (MC99), n.d.).

    To decide whether the airline is liable for the passenger's injuries under the Montreal
    Convention, the particulars of the case must be investigated. It may be important to
    demonstrate carelessness if the airline complied with the rules of the airport authorities and
    there were no warning signs or verbal cautions.

    Was there a duty of care? Was there a breach of care? Explain the causation!
    It is true that the airline owed the passenger a duty of care, which was broken by
    failing to provide the customer enough warning or visual cues that the level was changing.
    The harm to the passenger was specifically brought on by the duty violation.

    What is the extent of liability?

    The severity of the injury and any losses incurred by the passenger would determine
    the airline's level of liability. If the airline is determined to be at fault, it may be held
    accountable for the injury's related costs, including medical bills, lost earnings, pain and
    suffering, and other damages.
