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

Thanks

last time was fall 2017 as an essay. "draconian and essentially unfair" quote from Columbia Pictures v Robinson. Discuss, with reference to case law, the principles governing applications for Anton Pillar Orders.

is an essay on SP in equity more or less the same in contract if asked ?
send me ur email

as an essay it tends to come up as 'discuss the defences to a claim for sp' or a discussion of a quote from CH Giles v Morris & asking how courts have dealt with sp for contracts for personal services.

Does anyone know can we print off Sale of Goods Act 1893 from Irish Statute book ?

You cannot. It is to prevent people adding in pages or editing the legislation etc.

Does penalty clauses ever come up in problem questions or is it usually as essay? Thanks

This is stressing me too! I saw people saying an essay on specific performance but can’t see it in any of the papers back to 2015 and have like no notes on it! I feel damages is the only one I’ve seen come up - remoteness types etc

Equity- specific performance is predicted to come up on the paper seemingly. Does anyone have any recent cases on specific performance that are essential to include also I am getting very confused with he distinction between contracts for services and contracts of services. Anyone care to explain??

I dont have any recent cases other than the ones provided in my manual.

Do you know if contracts requiring supervision fall under the provision of personal services or are they a separate concept?

ErinLP44

this is what I am confused about

according to my notes I would say that contracts requiring supervision come into this category
mine say:

contracts for service- are those that require constant supervision
contracts of service - typical employment contracts (ie compelling someone to work for you if specific performance is granted)

and both of these presumably fall under the title of personal services. Im just a bit confused about which cases fall under each category and how to distinguish between the two. for example - the co-op v argyll stores case that involved an obligation to trade- is this a contract FOR services or OF (ie would it be one requiring supervision?)

tbh i think the sample answers are often copy and paste jobs, you'd see some essay questions referring to names as if in a problem question, so might be just a case of it being from an earlier question

My Griffith manual says they're two different concepts.

The cases that they have laid out in the section for contracts requiring supervision are

Posner v scott-lewis
Cooperative insurance society v Argyll stores
Wanze properties

I'm not sitting Equity this time but I was in your EXACT position last time round. I wasn't going to bother going the night before the exam because I hadn't covered half the course (I cut all trusts except charitable and 3 certainties). The paper didn't go great, I had 3 good Qs, I only answered 1 out of the 3 notes and my final question on estoppel was a dog's dinner, but somehow I scraped a pass. Definitely go, you will be kicking yourself if everybody comes out and you find out that all your topics came up and you would've been able to do 5 questions.

In relation to your topics, I was convinced SP and 3 certainties were coming up last time and they didn't so I'd say they are v likely to come up. Feel like it's been a while since she has asked 2 injunction Qs in the 1 paper so there is a good possibility that might happen. All your other topics often come up in note questions and that's a bonus because there's no difficulty in identifying problems etc or arguing your case. Tracing and charitable both came up as standalone Qs last time (I think) so, while charitable always does make an appearance, not the end of the world that you're cutting tracing.

Exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you so much 😊
