School Mock Court Case Project

The project centres around poor Mrs Telfer, a pensioner, who asked her grandson to get a new battery for her aged mobile telephone. For whatever reason Mrs Telfer ended up with a new phone - and a new contract. Who was at fault, Mrs Telfer, her grandson or the phone provider, All Talk Communications t/a Talk 'n Txt?

Throughout, the students have to battle an invoice which contains errors, a 'best plan' offer, a contract, correspondence and legislation that encompasses two jurisdictions. They have to produce art and newspapers at various intervals that reflect their progress before presenting their case to a real Sheriff by way of making submissions and using witnesses and productions.
