The IRAC method is to be used answer this question I = what is the...

1) Elvis Ee is a senior programme consultant with Orchard Professional Institute (OPI) an entity providing university courses, twinning with various UK universities. In his professional capacity, Elvis's main role at OPI was to meet potential students and their parents and advise them on the various degrees the OPI offers. Although he never really checked, Elvis was always confident that all the degrees offered at OPI gave students an opportunity to pursue their chosen careers. Three years ago, a student and his parents made enquiries about the law degree being offered through OPI. Elvis met with them and after some discussion, he negligently assured the student and the parents that upon completing the law degree, the student could sit for the Bar examinations in Singapore and be "called to the Bar" and become a qualified lawyer thereafter. Thrilled by what Elvis said, the parents enrolled their son into the law degree programme at OPI. The student recently graduated with a law degree, but it has now been revealed that this law degree does not entitle the student to sit for the Bar examinations and therefore will not be "called to the Bar". He will not become a lawyer. Disappointed, the parents intend to hold OPI accountable (through the principle of vicarious liability) for the huge investment they made in their son to study law only to discover that he will never be able to practice law. Required: Using the relevant law governing professional advice, would the parents succeed in their action against OPI for the misleading advice given by Elvis? (20 Marks)
