Answer:

C). Common law.

Explanation:

'Common law' is demonstrated as the unwritten or implicit laws that are established on the basis of legal decisions(or judicial precedents) of the courts. These laws assist the courts to make decisions in the unusual cases(in which the subsisting laws cannot help in decision-making) on the basis of legal precedents.

In the given case also, the court will apply 'common law' as the case is quite uncommon and since, the existing 'good samaritan' laws do not contain a provision regarding this. Thus, the court would now take the decisionon the basis of past jurisdictions or legal precedents after analyzing the situation and hearing both the clients effectively. Therefore, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

Imagine a civil case is brought to court called Smith v. Henderson. Which statement is correct?
Keith_Richards [23]
The correct answer is <span>B. Smith would be the plaintiff and Henderson will be the defendant. 

Smith would be the plaintiff because that's the name for the person who is initiating the lawsuit in a civil case. Prosecution is when the country does it in a criminal court. Henderson would be the defendant and would have to provide a preponderance of evidence that Smith is incorrect.</span>
