The Constitution of Pakistan QUESTION #9364

Article 77 prohibits levying of taxes for purposes of the Federation except by or under authority of an Act of Parliament. This rule is different from Article 73 in that:

Article 73 deals with taxes at provincial level
Article 73 deals with the procedure for Money Bills; Article 77 prevents taxes outside legislative authority entirely✔️
Article 77 allows the President to levy taxes by ordinance
They are identical provisions

Correct Answer Logic:

Article 77 is a substantive prohibition — no federal tax without parliamentary authority. Article 73 is a procedural provision governing how Money Bills (including tax bills) must originate (in the National Assembly only) and the limited role of the Senate. They address distinct constitutional concerns.

Civil Procedure QUESTION #3720

Question 11

A defendant is driving $\text{5 mph}$ over the speed limit. A pedestrian, who is not looking where they are going, steps into the street and is hit. The jury finds the defendant $\text{10%}$ at fault and the pedestrian $\text{90%}$ at fault. The jurisdiction follows 'pure comparative negligence.' The pedestrian's total damages are $\text{\$100,000}$. How much can the pedestrian recover?

Nothing, because the pedestrian was more than $\text{50%}$ at fault.
$\text{\$10,000}$.✔️
$\text{\$90,000}$.
$\text{\$100,000}$.

Correct Answer Logic:

In a 'pure' comparative negligence jurisdiction, a plaintiff can recover damages regardless of their percentage of fault, but the recovery is reduced by that percentage. $\text{\$100,000} - 90\% = \text{\$10,000}$.
