Hi all,
I have a question in relation to qs 4 march 2011 for property!!
In relation to jim and fran wanting to sell their shares in the property to Tod would this give rise to a discussion in relation to acquisition of an additional interest?If Tod had given his consent to this, does that mean that it destroys the unity of interest and produces a severance?would tod then hold their share of the property as a tenant in common?
Totally confused!any help would be much appreciated!

Hey, I did this question last week and was similarly confused. I had initially thought that in buying fran and jim's shares, Tod would be 'acquiring an additional interest', but then I thought that it wouldn't qualify for that, as he wouldn't be acquiring an additional interest, but ALL of it,(?), so I didn't really go down that route. I said that it would produce a severance anyway, possibly even if the sale didn't go through, as it was their mutual intention even if they didn't agree on a price.

Out of interest, did you discuss succession in your answer at all? I did but I don't think I should have bothered now...

thanks very much for your input.it is a bit of a confusing area alrite. i didnt discuss any succession at all but i suppose you could of mentioned something in a line or 2 as the father left the estate in his will, but given the fact that the examiner puts up 2 full questions on succession i wouldnt have bothered.!thats just my opinion.!

Hi hope studying is going well for everyone. Having a prob with some of the questions regarding the separation of powers essay q's. just done Q1 sept 2010 question and it seemed to be very broad. there is only so much you can write in 35 mins. i mainly discussed the 3 branches of the sop and gave examples where for eg the courts will not get involved in the executive function and where they will. My prob is knowing what is relevant and what is not. i did not discuss tribunal etc. Did anyone else struggle with this question??

Just wondering about the procedure in relation to sitting the FE-1s, I have already passed 4 exams - so I am aware that you must pass 3 out of 4 first sitting etc etc etc.

I am also aware that exams passed are vaild for a period of 5 years.

My question is when does the 5 year period start to run? From the rules on the law society website, I gather that it starts once all 8 exams are passed, is this correct?

If this is the case, I think exams can be taken one/two at a time, correct?

Thanks :rolleyes:

Hey
any property people out there? just looking at 72 burdens, under systems of registration, does it basically bind a purchaser for value regardless of whether or not the interest is registered or not? and is it just 3rd party interests covered?

mirm

Does anyone know where the venue for the exams is for the October sitting?

hi all,

I would love an up to date Constitutional and Property Grid??
can offer notes on other 6 in return?!

Hi everyone,

Just wondering what approach and technique people take to study? Do you make notes out or generally prefer to learn directly from the manual? I'm starting to think that making notes is counter productive?

Tort (defamation apart), equity, contract, criminal, constitutional & company won't have changed a whole lot, but you will need to refresh your cases.
EU, Property have changed substantially due to Lisbon and the new land law act.
I'm using a 2009 IC manual for constitutional with a 2000-edn Casey text book for backup, there isn't a huge difference in that nine-year gap. I have other materials to fill in 2009-2011.
If you are studying something like mareva injunctions in equity and you know all that's in your 07 manual, then just go to bailii.org and search for Mareva in the IESC and High Court pages. Sort your results by date and you'll know if there has been anything recent. Use the same technique in all subjects and you should be fine.
I'd recommend the GCD refresher one-day courses too if you can afford to do them, you'll be bang up-to-date after those.

Just wondering if anyone knows of updates to the Independent Colleges Property Manual since the Winter 2010-2011 one? Not bothered buying the new one if there's only one or two new cases in there!

Just a reminder that the closing date for application to sit the FE1s is this Friday 12th August.

Also how many of you include your letter confirming exemptions and how necessary is it to do so. Pretty sure I never have.

Hi all,

I did Tort and Property last time so I'd like to get a look at the reports. If anyone has those ones and could send them on to me that'd be great.

I've the EU examiner report from last sitting so can send that in return.

Cheers.

Is anyone studying from a griffith college 2009/2010 manual for the EQUITY exam.

I bought one last year from someone and didn't end uo doing the exam.
I am just wondering if it would still be up to date or would there have been to many changes in the area of trusts.

Anyones advice would be greatly appreciated.

IMHO you'll be fine with the info in that manual. No significant changes. I passed Equity in April of this year.

I need advice from my fellow fe1-ers, I'm thinking about doing one exam in October, maybe Criminal, but I don't know if I'm cutting it fine to do the exam. What would you think, yay or nay?
