was q2 not on occupiers liab?

Hey,

This is my first time doing the FE1's so I was wondering if someone with a little experience could answer the following for me -

In regards to Criminal, if a number of problem questions come up which have offences in them do we need to go through the entire development of intention and/or recklessness for each question because intention and/or recklessness is usually incorporate in the offence in the first place?

For example,

If question 1 is on assault offences and so assault is the intentional or reckless application of force do we go through the development of intention and reckless as one of the issue of your answer?

And then if say question 2 is on murder where there must be an intention to kill or cause serious injury do we have to go through the development all over again?!

Any advice to clarify my very confused head would be appreciated!

Hi, I thought it was OK, lot of repitition from last paper, better than Tort anyway, took me a bit to work out what the questions were about, thank God for the right to privacy, someone predicted that would be on from here.:)

I don't know the examiner for criminal law, but as a general rule, I would have thought that a direct answer to the question is the best way of doing it, rather than going through the entire development of the law.

So if the question is a problem question on assault, state the law, apply it to the facts, discuss any points of interest (e.g. in this case there may be an issue of...), discuss recent or important caselaw, discuss any possible defences that arise from the facts and give your opinion on whether there is a good or bad case. If recklessness is an issue discuss it, but if the facts suggest that the assault was clearly intended it doesn't really need to be dealt with. In any event, unless the development is important (i.e. the law is still developing and might be changed) you don't need to go into the development.

fiona doesnt teach in GCD anymore, she moved back down to cork to lecture in UCC. unfortunately I dont think you can really leave too much out! sorry!

Hey guys, hope the exams are going well for everyone. Just wondering if anyone has any tips for contract by any chance? I know frustration nearly always appears and obviously offer and acceptance but just wondering if anyone was given any other tips?!

It would really help me and I would seriously appreciate it,cheers

What legislation do you bring to the Contract exam?

Is it the Sale of the Goods 1893 AND the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services 1980?

Or do you only bring the former?

What did people think of EU today? It was a pretty OK paper, still harbouring a bad feeling for Tort...

Jackthe

what were the questions like this sitting, was it the three page novel like last year?

pink101

Did anyone do Contract exam on Friday for FEI. If so can they tell me did question number 1 include invitation to treat and acceptance as well as mistake. Very confusion. Would appreciate a reply.

Hi PINK101,

I am really confused about Ques 1 too - I thought it was duress/family member and I also mentioned mistake but I have no idea - went back over the Griffith Manual and I still dont know...HELP!

why don't you just go to Independent. You want to attend lectures from lecturers whose notes you don't want? I don't get it.

By the By Q1 to answer the question you would have had to refer to the formation of the contract offer, acceptance and consideration (even though the cheque bounced) in your introduction before you tackled the mistake as to identity and whether the contact was void ab initio, or voidable until disaffirmed. I think the silver is gone and the long lost cousin is even more lost now.

Cheers

im just looking to buy the notes. want to go to the classes for criminal and tort so will have those bookets! havent decided yet if ill go to griffith or independent

Jackthe

:)no sorry a bit of a moment there, yeah, ciaran for criminal, I would still go to griffith, check that he'll be there for the next sitting (make it a condition) but I'd definitely go for Val corbett in Independent for tort and any others.

Found it in mistake - mistake as to contracting party a case about fraud typical confusing everyone. Sat last october paper in contract and it was a nightmare so unfair that we can't carry the ones forward that we get. I have been getting two failing two, fourth time sitting them again. have my apprenticeship got and am working in a legal firm. Keep saying that I am not going to sit them again but I end up doing them every time.

I used the FEI direct manuals which was a course that I attended in UL the year before last. Manuals not as big as Griffith. Somebody told me that the Griffith ones could do with updating.

Did anyone sit the Land Law on Monday. It was okay but I thought it was very unfair about putting in LRC paper on Landlord and Tenant as if we did not have enough to do. This paper only came out in the last six months I think. Very unfair. Jack Anderson seems to love these reform papers as of course there is one nearly in every area of Land Law.

I know it's a bit early but does anyone have an idea of when the results will be released?

Jackthe

The last results for the October sitting arrived just before Christmas week, great ****** present, that was almost 2 and 1/2 months. So end of June maybe?

Checked results for this sitting the last time and they areout much quicker, they were posted May 25th last time.

Jackthe

I feel like a turkey voting for christmas, but the sooner the better. Cheers

hada

o god i hope not, have been having nightmares the last couple of nights about the results!

ronnie3585

I spoke to the Law School today and they said that the results will be released approx 12 weeks after the last exam. I would however take that with a very large pinch of salt. At xmas I rang them to find out when the results would be released, they said that it would be at least two more weeks....the next day they arrived!
