It's been said probably not to come up only minor. If you're doing a reform essay recommended to do capacity for Minors.

Thanks a mill - will call them tomorrow! Also anyone got any info on the contract examiner - what's the pass rate like, are they strict and what do they like to see? Thanks

Pass rate varies but Is around the 60% from what I can gather

Is it common for reform areas to come up in some area of the course ?

EU
For MS liability are the majority of cases preliminary ref and then the issue goes back to MS to determine if all factors present? Or do ECJ determine MS liability, my understanding is that it can be implemented at national level so it does go back to MS but just a bit mixed up from reading a few of cases in booklet

For consideration, my manual has performance of existing public duty, existing contractual duty etc under the heading of “ consideration has to be sufficient” but in my friend’s manual from another college it has them under the heading of “past consideration”. Anyone know which one it’s meant to be under? I would have thought it’s consideration must be sufficient but honestly no clue. Thanks

Hey - my manual has them under neither, just as general rules around what is and isn’t consideration.

Yes they still need to have a public benefit under s(3)(2) 2009 Act: "A purpose shall not be a charitable purpose unless it is of public benefit."

And also yes, Biehler notes that the "poor relations" and "poor employees" cases will rarely be applied in Ireland going forward except under the very limited section in s(3)(7) 2009 Act "having regard to the nature of the purpose of the gift".

So basically verrrry limited re future poor & need relatives cases in Ireland. Seglemen dcd was English though so I don't know if the same can be said for England & Wales. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong!

Thanks very much!!

For problem qs for EU how are people planning on going about them? I'm kinda dreading them, I know my stuff but I reckon I could easily so over time on them, there are always so many issues in them, do you think you have to deal with every single sentence or just the main issues?

I always hate problem qs, can never stick to the IRAC method

I'm quite worried about this too. Only learnt Citizenship and FMG so far, but even with the latter there are so many tests you have to apply before you can begin to deal with the actual issues in the Q. I'm not covering many topics so won't have the option of choosing essays, I'll be confined to my 5 questions... Would really appreciate guidance if anyone has any words of advice!

Can I ask which topics you've chosen to cover?

This is what I'm hoping/praying for:

Q1 - institutions or general principles
Q2 - direct effect and/or MS liability
Q3 - FMG
Q4 - Annulment action (going to have a glance over preliminary reference too)
Q5 - Something relating to citizenship/workers/equality.

Taking a bit of a gamble, but time is a luxury that unfortunately I do not have

user115

I think they are really solid choices, Direct effect always up, FMG and FMW with citizenship. With some luck there'll be q on institutions.

Direct effect and MS liability always asked together so be sure and know a little on MS liability, I'm just going over it amt. Basics of liability is Franovich and then Factortame- i.e. 3 criteria that needs to exist. Maybe also have a quick read over principle of Equivalence and effectiveness as he asks them very often.

Thank you both! I'm in the same boat, only covered up to Direct Effect so far and have Equity to sit on Wednesday so it will just be a glance through some topics and hope for the best! Will be cutting it extra short

I have a summary guide from the lawschool.ie and it says that preliminary reference is not popular with the current examiner and that the last time it came up was in September 2014. It also lists that the following topics are of high risk to come up:

1: institutions
2: principles
3:direct effect and ms liability
4: judicial review
5: Eu citizenship
6: equality
7: free movement of workers
8: free movement of goods

As a result I have made the decision not to cover competition law and just stick to these 8 topics and hope for the best.
Am I mad not to cover competition???

holliek

what is predicted/due to come up for equity?

Charles OCK

In what form has the Anton Pillar come up in the past? Essay or Problem?

Thanks

Not at all this is exactly what I am learning too. Far too much in competition to cover.
