Writing a Case Note
Read either the case of Lacrosse Tower (paragraphs 24-82 and 241-536) or both the
Hyblewski and Versa Tile Cases and in no more than 1800 words, write a brief analysis of
the case. The analysis should be as follows (please note that this is just a guide and you
are free to write a better analysis than the guide below):
1. Brief Introduction, which should include
1. A general introduction to your Case Note
2. A summary of relevant facts
(About 300 words)
2. Issues arising – these are the key questions or problems that are brought before the
court/tribunal and the parties want them answered. Each party’s arguments will be in
support of or against these questions. Ordinarily, a statement of an issue should begin thus:
‘Whether …’ (About 200 words)
3. Law applicable, including Regulations and Legislation. You may include in the list any
Codes of Conduct that apply. (About 200 words)
4. Reasoning of the parties – this is each parties arguments in answer to the questions
listed in 2 above. How do the parties apply the law to the facts in answering the questions?
