  • Lawville, a coastal city in the

Lawville, a coastal city in the nation of Stateland, witnessed an extraordinary rise in sea levels in 2023 as a result of climatic changes. In response, the "Coastal Protection and Relocation Act" (CPRA) was passed by the Stateland Parliament. All residents who live within 500 metres of the coastline are required by the CPRA to leave their homes and move to safer inland areas. Lawville resident Maria is located 505 metres from the sea. She contends that because the difference in distance is so small and her property is still at danger, the law should also protect her.

 

Which of the following would be the best topic to discuss in Maria's situation?

Option: 1

Does Maria have proof that the risk posed by increasing sea levels to her property exists?


Option: 2

Maria has been living 505 metres from the sea for how long?


Option: 3

Does the CPRA make any exceptions for residents who live just a little bit outside the 500-meter line?


Option: 4

Does the CPRA offer relocating residents compensation?

Despite the fact that the CPRA expressly stipulates a limit of 500 metres, the key question in Maria's case is whether or not her home, which is only 5 meters over the established limit, is actually in danger. Her case that she should likewise be protected by the law depends on her ability to demonstrate this risk. Hence option a is the correct answer.
