  2. B.Any fact proving the defendant's criminal intent
  3. C.Any fact showing jurisdiction of the court

Q3 · medium · BSA S.10

If a plaintiff simultaneously seeks an injunction and monetary damages, is a fact that helps calculate the monetary award relevant under Section 10?

  1. A.Only if the injunction is refused
  2. B.No — the section applies only to suits where damages are the sole relief
  3. C.Yes — in any suit in which damages are claimed, such facts are relevant✓ correct
  4. D.Yes — but only when damages are statutory

Why: The provision applies 'in suits in which damages are claimed,' without limiting to suits where damages are the only relief. Therefore facts enabling calculation of the monetary award are relevant whenever damages are claimed.

Q4 · medium · BSA S.10

Does Section 10, by its wording, make facts establishing legal liability (entitlement to damages) automatically relevant?

  1. A.Yes — liability facts are always relevant under this section
  2. B.Yes — liability facts and amount facts are treated the same
  3. C.Only if liability has already been judicially admitted
  4. D.No — the section limits relevance to facts that enable the Court to determine the amount of damages✓ correct

Why: Section 10 is narrowly worded: it makes 'any fact which will enable the Court to determine the amount of damages... relevant.' It does not state that all facts establishing liability are made relevant unless they enable the court to determine amount.

Q5 · hard · BSA S.10

Does Section 10 make facts about whether damages 'ought to be awarded' (entitlement) relevant, or only facts about the amount?

  1. A.Only facts enabling the Court to determine the amount that ought to be awarded are made relevant, not entitlement✓ correct
  2. B.Both entitlement and amount facts are explicitly made relevant by the section
  3. C.It makes only entitlement facts relevant, not amount
  4. D.It excludes facts about both entitlement and amount

Why: The provision specifies relevance for 'any fact which will enable the Court to determine the amount of damages which ought to be awarded.' This language addresses determination of the amount; it does not itself purport to make facts about entitlement (whether damages ought to be awarded) relevant.
