Explanation / Answer

6. The correct answer is option b: The balance of probabilities

The Australian civil law deals with relationships, it often involves contracts, which are agreements between participants in society that set out what the legal relationship will be between those participants. Usualy, the result or the outcome of a civil case is a decision that is based on whether or not the plaintiff has proved ‘on the balance of probabilities’ that the other party failed to fulfil (‘breached’) their civil law obligations to the plaintiff. If this has been proved, then the court or tribunal can make an order for damages. This usually means ordering that the respondent pay an amount of money to the plaintiff that reflects the loss suffered by the plaintiff because of the respondent’s breach of the plaintiff’s rights.

7. The correct answer is option D: Breach of contract

Breach of contract does not fall under the tort law since according to Tort Law it is important to show that the wrong is intentional.
