The opening round of the Mock Trial competition unfolded on 26 March, with St Edward’s squaring off against Henry Kendal High School. Acting as defendants in a civil case, our team represented Horses for Courses against claims of negligence under section 5B of the Civil Liability Act 2002. Thanks to our meticulous preparation and strong teamwork, we effectively demonstrated to the court that no negligence had occurred. Each team member’s performance was assessed by the magistrate, and based on our collective scores, St Edward’s emerged victorious in the mock trial.
