A small cruise ship struck a whale swimming underwater, causing the ship to suddenly lurch sideways. A passenger on the ship who

was walking down a corridor lost his balance and bumped his head on the edge of a doorway.

The passenger brought suit against the cruise ship owner for his damages. At trial, the passenger presented evidence of how he was injured as he walked down the hallway, his previous medical condition, and his medical expenses and other damages. The cruise ship owner presented evidence that the cruise ship was following its approved route and that the whale could not have been detected before impact, and that the bump would not have injured someone in ordinary health.

Answer:

A. Grant the motion, because there is no evidence that the crew operated the ship negligently.

Explanation:

The cruse ship owner's request for a directed verdict should be granted because from the evidences produced by two parties, there is no established piece of evidence that the passenger's permanent state has of health resulting from his fall while walking through the passage of the cruise ship was due to the cruise ship's negligent control or operation. The supporting evidences are so clear that the issuing a directed verdict in this case is logical as no reasonable jury presented with the evidences produced would rule otherwise.

Are you amenable with the law granting extraordinary powers to President Rodrigo Duterte to combat virus? Why or Why not?​
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

No, on the contrary, I am totally against the granting of extraordinary powers to any political leader, whatever the issue. On the contrary, I think that every government official must have limited powers, controlled by the other branches of government. In this way, they will not be able to exceed their prerogatives, affecting the freedoms and rights of citizens.
