Are the PQ issues similar year to year?

I'm covering (well,memorise is a different story) :

Offer/Accept
Consideration
Estoppel
Terms
Consumer Law
Discharge
Remedies
Excl Clauses
Undue Influence
Capacity

I'm hoping that sees me through the PQs with a potentially bollocks bullet point essay . . .

Yeah hopefully --- Contract should be OK in normal circumstances but sandwiched between Company and EU is not fun ...

Guys I passed Constitutional and I didn't have a bloody notion. I hadn't read any of the cases so went nowhere near the cases question. I absolutely spoofed an essay and filled it with my own musings. Came out of the exam feeling like I had wasted my time. But I passed! So hang in there!!

I have no clue haha, hoping to see what came up in the last few sittings and get an idea. I really hate estoppel and would love to leave it out but I know that it’s practically guaranteed with consideration.

Edit: I’ve already left out unlawful contracts, consumer protection, agency and mistake, but I think I’ll do mistake really quickly tonight.

I would leave out duress and misrepresentation!

Constitutional:

Is there any point in studying case notes for constitutional law? It feels it is such a gamble that there is not much point?

In an essay q on freedom of expression for journalists would you put in the defamation and contempt of court cases?

Feeling very shaky on the EU directives in relation to consumer protection....should I keep battling with it or would my time be better directed going back over my other sections? By shaky I mean I’m reading my notes and I swear it’s like I’ve never seen them before!!

Think I’ll use my time elsewhere. Might skim over them in the morning and see if fresh eyes help the situation.

Anyone doing the same ? Or more ? Or less ? Not sure whether to do undue?

Yep, doing the exact same as you but also a brief outline of Consumer Protection (in case a curveball occurs and I can bluff it).

My predictions for contract ESSAY questions:

- before there was an essay to discuss/explain what is meant by "consideration must not be past" and "estoppel is a shield not sword." I wouldn't be surprised if that came up again because those phrases are always trotted out but people don't really understand what they mean. It's a good way to weed out the spoofers.

- penalty clauses. It's come up a couple of times recently but there's been a good bit of current case law. Maybe the question would be if we would be better sticking with the traditional attitude towards them or adapting the Cavendish test the UK is using.

- something to do with capacity of minors to contract.

- privity of contract and suggestions for reform.

- negotiating in good faith has come up a couple of times. I wouldn't be surprised if now there was a question on unconscionable bargain because that replaces a requirement of good faith.
