Legal cases are generally decided upon when a judge applies the law to the facts of the case; however, the Constitution is ambiguous which means it can be comprehended differently. The way the Constitution is translated in today 's society and applied to modern laws is a responsibility that the Supreme Court justices must uptake.

The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the creation and application the case law resulting from the decision in Donoghue v Stevenson .
