    Keep the chin up!

    I know the feeling! I've been doing contract all day but feels like a waste of time.

    I'm hoping people are right in saying that the adrenalin the day(s) before makes learning off easier???

    I have a decent understanding of topics but know NONE of the case names yet.

    Is it normal to cram case names the night before??

    This is my first set so am curious as to what other people think...

    I'm in the same boat, pretty much just reading material. Won't be able to remember case names if I learn them now (which I don't seem to be able to do anyway!)

    There is gonna be serious cramming done on the days between exams by me anyway!

    Can anyone clarify this for me please.

    If agreement is under mutual mistake, if an objective bystander can conclude thatthere is an actual offer & acceptance, then the contract is enforceable( does it mean it's voidable?? As in the other party can choose to recind the agreement if they want? Or does it mean it's legally enforceable and they can sue for damages?)

    I think I am getting alittle confused between void and voidable in relation to mistake.

    Can anyone tell me what happens if a contract is void and what happens if a contract is voidable ?

    Thank you

    If objective bystander would say. Contract is on x terms, it is on y terms or no contract at all. Imagine u were given facts and u draw conclusion.
    Eg case of the pub where the guy was never told of the 500 extra read for sale clearly the objective bystander would. conclude it was reas that the contract on those terms ie the buyers and not the vendors or
    In some cases if they are at cross purposes it's clear no contract was agreed on either terms

    Void an voidable into play under unilateral mistake
    Void no contract and therefore the property Returns to the original person ie bona fide purchaser gets stung
    Voidable then bfp can keep as can elect to keep or rescind contract.
    If that makes sense.

    Thanks for the quick reply ,so in the case of mutual mistake,

    Objective bystander decided:

    no contract was formed = void , then what happens? ( apart from return whatever was paid) what other remedies are available?

    if a contract was concluded and deemed to be enforceable.. It means it's voidable. So one party can still repudiate the contract which makes a void .. But how/ when would equity come into play? what are the remedies?


    I can't actually get my head around this at all :( it just does not seem to make logical sense at all ..

    U are confusing different areas.
    If object bystander would say the contract was not formed on either terms. There is no contract. Essentially the court will say no contract. So if u have no contract there are no remedies.

    If he says ie the obj bystander ie the court it was concluded on x terms or on y terms then they will enforce it in that manner.

    Hi all,

    Just giving my two cents on these exams after having passed all 8 last sitting, and I know some people find it best, but, I hate seeing people spend hours upon hours making notes when the material is already there.

    Took me 3 sittings to get them all. Tort and Company were my achilles heel.

    Anyway, I would advise for every subject that you cover 90% of the syllabus. Sure, you could just learn off 8 of the most common topics from the grids and go in and get lucky on the day and they all come up. But this will rarely happen. I found out the hard way, so just cover 90% of the syllabus.

    Next, I posted this before. I never see a point in anyone going off and making pages upon pages of notes on a topic. Wayy too time consuming. The manuals or nutshells are condensed enough if you ask me. What I used to do was:

    -Have my manual there. (tbh I had a good friend who emailed me very detailed notes for each subject, so I mostly use these, but they were very similar to the manuals just a little bit more condensed).
    -Book (if needed as an anchor to refer to in order to clarify something).
    -Nutshell (for some subjects i.e. company and tort as they were my achillies heel and I repeated them).
    - Grids, examiners reports, and as much sample answers I could get my hands on.
    - Night before notes off the City Colleges website (fantastic revision tool).

    Anyway, I would familarise myself with the grids. See what could definitively be left out e.g. there is always an odd topic that never comes up, or maybe a topic that comes up once every 10 sittings. Then I would have a look at some examiner reports and questions, see what type of exam it is e.g. are the questions mixed as in do they include 3-4 topics (like Criminal and Contract, whereas Property most questions will be on one topic only), what does the examiner like etc.

    Then I would get cracking. I would go through a topic in the manual by reading it once or twice and when I was finished doing this I would scan back through it and take note of important case names and some principles, never going over 2-3 pages with this (basically a quick summary). Then, I would use the grid to root out sample answers for the topic, so maybe have the last 4 or 5 sittings sample answers, I would read through these and highlight the main cases at the end. By doing this you will see how an answer is structured and see that similar kind of questions come up for the topic and what cases are most frequently used, and finally it allows you to spot the issues/topics in the problem straight away. This should only take 2-3 hours to do if you're tackling a topic, as it's mostly reading with some light note taking. Note taking is very time consuming and you're not taking the material fully in.

    Closer to the exam (try have 2-3 weeks before the exams to just do pure revision) I would just briefly scan through topics and try drum case names into my head. The way I looked at it was that I've read over this topic numerous times in different fashions - the manual/nutshell, sample answers, examiner reports. And I said to myself that I know what it's about, it's structure, and now I just need to get remembering case names. So in the final couple of weeks I would just be drumming case names into my head. You should always know a topic in the sense that you could describe it to your mum or friend in a few mins over lunch. When I was drumming case names into my head I would jot their names down also, maybe by putting a heading and jot down three cases. The NBN's come in handy here as they have all the main cases under headings with quick points set down for you.

    My main point is to not get bogged down in note taking. The manuals etc. are condensed enough. Once you've read a topic don't be afraid to jot down a quick summary, but try not to go over a couple of pages or spend more than 10 mins doing this.

    It used to take me about 1 hour to go through a chapter in the manual or my detailed notes (at a slow pace for understanding, sometimes it took less, and this included my quick 2 page summary at the end), then about 10 mins per sample answer. So most of the time if I just used those materials I would be 2 hours at a topic. So a short subject like Property you could cover in a few days. This would mean you would get back to it quicker and if you started three months before the exams and you were doing 4 exams you could easily have gone over each topic 3/4 times (meaning when you go over a topic, you then go over sample answers, so you could be reading the same cases/points a few times in the one sitting of study). Leaving 2 weeks for quick revision then before the exams.


    Here is a quick reply on studying the different subjects I posted a while back if you're interested: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=89819004&postcount=1879



    Thanks for this advice, I do find it interesting but just for anyone else like me writing and re-writing is the only way I learn things off! For me reading and highlighting does not help with retention of material, the only way I will remember case names etc is to break down each chapter into its main points with a list of cases under each point...then memorise that small amount of info!

    To be honest I think just learn as much as u can..maybe look at the exam questions but I can really see no pattern for any topic in the way it's asked. I'm gonna throw in any point I think is relevant to each question and hope it works. Sorry I can't be of anymore help but I'm at a complete loss myself with this exam

    Nutshells and i googled it. Also had this confusion lol.
    What confuses it is that debenture was sold on and they say the liq viewed it as repayment of a debt to himself. Liq was incorrect as rules by HL. It isn't given slp. Anyway that debenture taking priority is what horrified the creditors but was nothing they could do as the company is sep legal person.
    That may confuse u even more. Jut find one version of the summary online. There are loads and learn that

    Thanks.

    1) He has a successful leather business and incorporates

    2) The company has 20,007 shares....he owns 20,001, wife and 5 kids own the others

    3) Payment is made up of 20,000 fully paid up 1 pound shares, 10,000 secured debenture and 8,000 cash

    4) Company goes bust and liquidator claims unsecured creditors should be paid in priority to Mr Salomon as incorporation was a sham and you can't owe money to yourself (referring to debenture)

    5) Court of Appeal agrees. Business was a sham. Mr Salomon was carrying on the exact same business as before through the agency a company. There was no independence

    6) HL over rules and sets down modern cornerstone of company law. Once incorporated, the company becomes a separate legal personality. There are no independence requirements, you must simply comply with company act requirements which he had done (7 subscribers to memorandum each holding at least 1 share-him, wife + 5 kids). Totally irrelevant that after incorporation, the business is exactly the same and ran by the same people.

    That's how I have learnt it anyway. Very simple presentation of the facts but they key bits are there and besides, you don't want to waste precious time writing out facts!!

    Hi all!

    Can anyone explain prescription in relation to easements? I think complicated it a bit too much in my head and just do not get it. Is the 2013 act relevant here or is it just the Civil Law Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2011?

    Any help, as always, much appreciated!

    Do you guys think it's safe to cut the following topics from property? Or if not, what can I cut??

    Tenure
    Freehold Estates
    Hybrid Estates/Fee Farm Grants
    Trusts of Land/Settled Land

    I'm covering the other 11 Topics in full.

    It's very unlikely all of those four will be on the paper so you should be fine. They're not popular topics with the examiner. If you're really worried cover one briefly which would mean you'd have five questions.

    I'm actually cutting covenants too, so I might cover Hybrid Estates/Fee Farm Grants just in case.

    Freaking at the thought of cutting 5 out of 16 Topics, but having looked at the grids and the fact that they are more of "historical significance" surely it's safe to get rid of them...

For example, in property law, April 2014 Question Eight, I can't see myself being able to say a lot past on land find v below land find and something on the monuments act maybe because the gun is an antique (?). There are only a handful of cases in the manual. Is between 2-3 pages going to be enough as an answer?

    Or am I just freaking myself out that knowing everything in the manual on this topic isn't enough?

    I think you would be totally fine leaving these out. I was thinking of only covering the following:

    Succession
    AP
    Co-Ownership
    Easements
    Family Property
    Finding/Treasure Trove

    Wonder if this is cutting it way too fine?

    Don't have time to do Mortgages. I have Company on Tues so focusing on that from now so will only have a day and a half to spend on Property....eeek!

    They are definitely the 6 most important topics, and topics the examiner is very keen on (and has a research interest in some).

    Best of luck with Company (that's for my next sitting).

    I didn't think I'd contribute much but I'm finding this thread so helpful.

    I did that exam and that Q I think my answer was three pages. There are five or 6 Cases armor v delamer,elwes v brig, Parker v ba waverly v borough,chairman national land auth v flack, tamworth ind v ag, hannah v peel bridges v hawkesworth
    I also mentioned the monuments act as the objects found were confiscated it may have been because they were arch items.
    That's pure from recall tho. Hope it helps. Finding was up last two papers so it may not appear again.

    Thanks. Independent said it was in the top category of things to learn for this year, so I'm doing it!

    Succession is melting my head and the Publications Office messed up sending me my acts. Ordered them two weeks ago and still no sign!

    Serious question: where do people get sample answers? I can't judge my own!

    To be honest, id do topics regardless of what the colleges say. They are just making educated guesses which sometimes are right and sometimes not so right.

    You will be fine. Especially with land. It's totally doable. (Grant it no one could convince me of that for my first four and no one can now either for my second four).
    Regular college answers are fine. Don't overthink that. Get as much detail relevant to the Q asked on the page. Answering the Q asked is half of it.

    Ha wait and you see it, it's like a battle scene in a film with stressed students thrown in every corner of the place!!

    But ya the exams are in a big conference room and you can sit outside that, it's away from the main lobby area of the hotel so it's just students.

    Tbh its hell up there! There is a macdonalds down the road where you could sit down with a coffee (i think they open around 7) and you would get twice as much if not more done sitting down there for 2/3 of the time than you would in that lobby! Its distraction central and not ideal. Also, make sure you get a bit of fresh air a bite to est etc in those 2 hours as its a long morning.

There is a macdonalds down the road where you could sit down with a coffee (i think they open around 7) and you would get twice as much if not more done sitting down there for 2/3 of the time than you would in that lobby! Its distraction central and not ideal. Also, make sure you get a bit of fresh air a bite to est etc in those 2 hours as its a long morning.

    Thanks a mil for the heads up. It sounds beyond distracting and those few hours are crucial.

    I might pass on the lift and get the Luas from town.

    Is 9am ok to get there? And what time should I look to get a Luas (8??)

    Don't mean to sound like I need hand holding but want to be sure I'm ok re time etc. (one less thing to worry about)

    Does anyone know what was flagged by any of the prep courses as likely to appear for Equity? I'm covering Undue Influence, Estoppel, Specific Performance, Express, Secret and Constructive Trusts and Trusteeship. Also going to be as familiar as I can be with Injunctions as a back up, really not confident with them! Think that's sufficient?

    Wondering is there plenty of parking in the red cow in the morning or is it best to get there early?

    City havent really tipped anything other than possibly a qs re lifting the corporate veil it hasnt come up in a few sittings.

    Only real reference needed to the Bill is re the proposed aboliton of the doctrine of ultra vires for private companies. Would need to mention it there but dont think its too relevant anywhere else yet.

    I did the revision course with city, he said he only added in the chapter in response to the April paper, which he thought the question contained trespass to goods,but the examiners report did not even mention it at all in his report, so no. To be honest I think it was just added in to cover themselves more than anything! ( incase we sue haha ) I can't see it coming up , I would just know what it is and won't bother with case law in it, it's prob just worth a one line answer in a question .

    I am leaving out defamation, employers liability and professional negligence, don't even have basic knowledge on these topics. So I think I am in a worse off position than you :p

    Speaking Of taking cases ---- City told me that the revision course was cancelled after I gave my details to pay...I have no idea why they would say it wasn't on if it was... Wtf
    And I really wanted to do it to give me piece of mind.
    Was it good?

    Ah I wouldn't say I am. Like my notes on survival of actions are a page and half and my notes on defences are like three so hoping I have sufficient material cos he so hard to predict

    I'd put getting out there in good time way ahead of cramming in the morning.....I love a bit of cramming myself but the last thing you need is to be running late so give yourself plenty time to get out.
