Last property for the night I promise - people can answer it when up - For easements and right to support and protection, am I right in understanding from Todd v Cinelli and Latimer v Official Co-Op Society that they're more inclined to give the easement where it physically supports or is attached to the other vs. Phipps v Pear and Treacy v Dublin Corpn where it's just protection from the elements? Does that make sense?

Right to protection from weather is an ancillary right stemming from right to support, it can’t exist on its own

Does anyone know if essays come up on enhacement of SOP ? Or development in relation to separation of powers in the constitution? Any idea how you would even approach that question.. seems he doesn’t like when people just talk all about the non delegation doctrine ?

holliek

I'm covering the following:

4 interpretations
amending the Constitution
president and AG
oireachtas
courts
SOP
judicial review
finding of unconstitutionality
due course
personal rights (4)
equality
property rights
freedom of expression
family and education

is there anything else that is important to cover or that is due up?

Legal_Eagle_95

EU

Pretty specific question but for those covering private international law - are the Reg and Directive relevant to that in Blackstones? Cannot for the life of me find it!

Jaspoon12

Is there any indication or hint as to what cases will appear on the case note this year for constitutional??

If you're worried after covering that much then I am absolutely screwed

What are you's looking at under freedom of expression? I've just looked at press freedoms and ECHR?

Also don't worry I haven't covered everything in each chapter just sections e.g. SOP just covered non-delegation doctrine and art 37 judicial issues

For expression I've kinda done it under how it clashes with other rights, so:
Expression vs right to good name
Expression vs privacy
Expression vs due process rights (pre trial publicity, contempt etc)

As for ECHR, I just looked up article 10 on Wikipedia and there's a subsection there with the main cases from the ECtHR! Nothing too fancy, just want to be able to show how serious the ECHR are at protecting expression.


Random question but for the President and AG topic - am I right in thinking that it is really straight forward? Im just looking at it now and it's only a few pages with barely any cases. Seems like a handy topic?

Id say I have about 15 cases in total..
AG V paperlink - right to communicate
Murphy v IRTC - ban on religious adv (didn’t offend art 10 of ECHR)
Colgan v IRTC - ban on political adv
Colgey case - about the nursing home, it was in the public interest to show the doc so no breach of privacy, prior restraint
Herrity - the affair with the priest published in the newspaper and the phone scripts obtained unlawfully so breach of privacy
Mahon v Keenan and Kennedy about the press
Mahon v an post - prior restraint, strength of freedom of expression
Otto v Austria - ban on religious adv in line with Murphy
Hunter v gerald duckworth - balancing right to good name with FOE
hickey case - plaintiff had a child with David agnew while married and pictures published of her in the NP, but she had done an interview on it so no breach of privacy
O brien v RTE- Denis o brien docs with the bank no breach because public interest
Cornec v morrice - journalistic sources and bloggers
Kelly v o Neil - contempt
Axel springer v Germany - they listed a few conditions that the court would consider in balancing art 10 and 8, good for problem Qs apparently

Lingens v Austria - person of public importance attracts more criticism !!

Hope that helps.. I’m assuming if it comes up it’ll probably be something to do with journalistics or social media bloggers tweeting something maybe or something politically fuelled ..

I was just looking over this and thinking the same. A lot of the roles of each etc, are contained in the constitution? Then there's only a handful of cases - concerned i don't have enough but not sure what else to add?

Yeah I'm assuming that it would just be a simple essay question. The president has come up as do you think the office of the president is now redundant? But I'd imagine the AG would be even broader. I have like 4 cases in my AG answer but NONE in the president!!

I somehow missed all of the section on Freedom of Assembly, don't ask - could anyone give me a one liner on some of the cases above? I can't find anything substantial online. PANIC IS SETTING IN

Do not panic, tiny topic with very few cases
You got this!

Everything I'm leaving out specific performance,agency,Formal requirements maybe privity but I know it vaguely. I don't think there's many chances you can take it's not predictable and a lot of mixing.

Hope the exams are going well for everyone! How did people find property today?

It's rare but it would be a shame to not take the question that legitimately only has 5 cases expected to be in an answer for it!

So happy to finish on a good note with a nice Property paper. Really hope I don't loose my 3 because of that Tort exam.

Good luck on the rest everyone :-) :-)
