Would that get you through, possibly?

I wouldn't spend any more time on mergers/state aid myself (famous last words of regret). You might wanna look at FMOWorkers/ Citizenship/ Democratic Deficit/ have an idea of Competition.

I think mortgages look very scary but are fairly straightforward in how they can actually be asked. I'd really recommend another look at them and just focus on the differences between between pre-LCLRA and post.

What are folks covering for Equity?  I've covered a fair bit -- but getting the classic 'FE1 What If' syndrome and trying to decide whether to cover Estoppel and Mareva (both came up last time I'm pretty sure).

For what it's worth, in the final City Colleges lecture the 'hot tips' were succession (obviously), registered land, finding and adverse possession. If those question comes up I'll be the one breakdancing in the aisle.

Best of luck!

I'll be dancing with you!!
Best of luck!

In Adverse Possession, what is the authority for county council not being the state??

For succession - is it necessary to know details of how an estate is administered?

Yeah you can hand it in at 9. You'll have it by 10.
I went to buy the Treaties last week but couldn't find any. I dunno where my copy went from college.
Gotta learn the sections :0/

Ahh I've it done.
Well I hope I have lol.
There's not that much in fairness when you go through it. You'd be surprised in fact. If you know your stuff you'll be ok. You don't get marks for writing out text from the book

I think it's Cork Corporation v Lynch.

I'm just after seeing the 'golden rule' in nightbefore notes for land whats that??

Pyggg

Stupid question but can you bring the LCLRA 2009 supplementary explanatory memorandum in with you or just the act itself? When I ordered the Act it came with both?

Someone posted earlier saying no, only the Act... I had hoped the same as you

Sorry didn’t see that! I suppose at least we hadn’t relied on being able to bring it in 😅

Heart Shaped Box

If you’ve time to throw in one more property topic would you guys recommend mortgages or landlord/tenant law? Not based on predictions but more based on which is smaller/less difficult...

It's a guiding principle for solicitors when seeing if a very elderly, or recently unwell, person has a sound disposing mind for the purposes of making their will.

The solicitor should (1) have the client speak to a GP to determine the client's understanding and capacity and (2) take contemporaneous notes of the GP's findings.

Complying/not complying with the golden rule does not validate/invalidate a will. It is only there to assist the solicitor to resolve any subsequent disputes concerning the client's capacity.

I think State Aid is due a run

Anyone have any of the 2017 equity reports?

holliek

I understand its up to the marker what they want to include in the reports but equity reports have a shocking amount of detail in them - some comments are one sentence for an entire question?? Very hard to know what the examiner is looking for!

jus_me

Can’t believe there was a covenant question it’s never really came up before ! Not a bad paper considering the examiner is new this year

Did anyone spot aisling parks name on exam not Neil Maddox wonder if it was mistake or if it was her paper? So strange

Yeah, and the style of the exam looks like the old one (same co-ownership Q for example). Maybe the other one just did one season?

Good paper for me otherwise. Probably the only "easy" one. Now onto EU AND equity.

Happy enough with that. Not perfect by any means, but I think I done my best considering I completely blanked on my way to Dublin this morning. I got 48% last year with what felt like a weaker paper. Based on the new examiner's pass rate and marking scheme, as laid out in his March 2018 report, I might have gotten over the line.

In terms of the succession problem question, I nearly missed the possible intestacy element, but just spotted it in the nick of time. Still not sure if I addressed it correctly but I came very close to skipping it entirely.

The low-point was the Rowe v Law case for extrinsic evidence. I blanked on the name and ended up calling it the 'Wade' case, presumably pulling Roe v Wade out of the depths of my psyche. Turning a succession question into an abortion debate isn't a good look. I think I might have rescued myself by referring to the two-part test and the Chief Justice's dissenting opinion, so hopefully he'll give me some credit for actually knowing the case itself.

Ya the exact same as Oct 2015. Was question 8 mix of family home and mortgages ya?

Was there an implied license in ap question? I found it grand but those parts little weird
