Feel the exact same as you right now

I only have charitable, constructive, injunctions, SP, DMC and 3 certainties so likelihood of passing isn't great but nothing to lose in sitting it anyway

In relation to interlocutory injunctions, is it in considering adequacy of damages per Campus Oil test that you apply the Shelfer principles?

My brain is fried at this stage...

I was about to say the same thing, i'm all over the place! Every time i look at them - i change them. Suffice to say my answer will be pure waffle if it comes up :rolleyes:

I passed in October and only 2 Of my topics came up. Was rightly screwed, basically laughing in the exam but gave it my best shot and just attempted the 3 I could best give a go out of the rest..and I passed by way of a miracle!

Definitely try it and if caught badly still attempt 5 questions, they can’t give you marks for blank pages but they can for educated waffle!!

The topic of Sources of EU Law - is that just regulations, directives and decisions?

I think so, I was going to leave this out as I don’t know how it comes up.. I just have a base line knowledge for answering a Q on direct effect

These are the stories that we all need to hear, I pray for some luck tomorrow. Thank you all

Specific performance is a nightmare - it can literally come up so many ways, no prediction with it at all!!

Hi all, can anyone give me some guidance on the courts departure from campus oil test? What are the main cases that you have for this? My notes are quite messy on this and I’m quite confused! Any help appreciated! Cheers

For FMW and citizenship are people covering criminal convictions, I don't have much on it in my manual but saw it came up in 2017, what ye saying for it?

I have 8 situations where you depart from Campus Oil:

1. Mantatory Interlocutory injunctions - Lingham v HSE

2. Where parties agree the interlocutory hearing will constitute the trial of the action

3. Where there is no arguable defence - Keating & Co. v Jervis Shopping Centre

4. Where an interlocutory injunction is sought to restrain industrial action - G&T Campton Ltd v Building & Allied Trades Union, Malincross Ltd v Building Allied Trades Union, Dary Blocklaying Ltd v Building Allied Trades Union, and Dublin Airport Authority plc v Services Industrial Professional Technical Union

5. Where an interlocutory injunction is sought to restrain the publication of allegedly defamatory material - Bonnard v Perryman, Sinclair v Gogarty, Reynolds v Malocco, Quinlan v O'Dea, Cogley v RTE, Foley v Sunday Newspapers, Murray v Newsgroup Newspapers Ltd and O'Brien v RTE

6. Where an interlocutory injunction is sought to restrain the presentation of a petition for the winding-up of a company - Truck Machinery Sales Ltd v Maubeni Komatsu, Cotton Box Design Group Ltd v Earls Construction Ltd and Donal Rigney Ltd v Empresa de Construcoes Amanda Carvalho

7. Where the trial of the action is unlikely - NWL Ltd v Woods, Cayne v Global Resources plc, Lansing Linde Ltd v Kerr and Jacob v Irish Amateur Rowing Union Ltd

8. Where the interlocutory injunction is sought in a public law context - Okunade v MJELR

I hope this helps. I haven't learnt off these cases, I'll probably just choose the one that sticks out the most in each departure

Tracing:
A bit last minute but hoping someone can help- what’s the position if a bona fide purchaser buys something from a trustee who has bought said object from trust money?

hi all, for contract this question came up in 2016 "In respect of pre-contractual verbal statements, how do the Courts decide what is and what is not a term of the contract?"

Would this be a discussion of the parol evidence rules and the exceptions to it ?

Sorry just looked at this again - possibly warranties v mere representations?

As parole evidence is more to explain the actual contract or things missing from it I think? I could be wrong.

Think you could also talk about collateral undertakings but think parole evidence or warranties/ representations what she wanted - essays are so specific I won’t be able to write more than a page

The Parol Evidence rule is more to do with interpreting the content of the contract.
As mentioned above, best bet would be to focus on it from misrepresentation point of view

I simply have the fact that under the Citizenship Directive previous criminal convictions doesn't constitute grounds for chucking someone out

EU

Is it worth learning Art 101 and 102 only for competition? Leaving out state aid and mergers.

Or do they come up as a combined question?

sapphire309

Maybe a sneaky idea, but can we use different colour highlighters for our legislation? Like yellow for one topic, pink for another

I did this for constituional and was fine

Naddy666

Are you allowed to highlight the Legislation or just tab it?

I’m debating this but I don’t think it’s worth the effort for the chance they come up mixed... I plan on just knowing everything else really well so I’m not caught.. hopefully

Anyone who has done EU.. what are your thoughts on using the legislation for ALOT of theory, I’m glazing overthings because I know it’s in the legislation like equality, legislative procedures institutions etc ... bad idea ?

I am the same - haven't actually learnt much for equality and citizenship - couple of cases only. Just tabbing and highlighting relevant provisions in the Directives etc for it. Same with all powers of institutions and OLP.

Can anyone help with Consumer Protection for contract?
I have kind of glazed over it the last few weeks, thinking that it was just a straightforward use of legislation in the exam... What are the key points to know for it?

I have:
Ss12-15 of 1893 act
1980 act services implied terms
Exemption clauses for non consumers (i.e. fair and reasonable)

And a short knowledge of:
Unfair terms in consumer contracts
Consumer rights directive

Am I screwed?
