Keep the faith! I thought the exact same last October when I knew about 2.5 questions.. and I managed to scrape a pass, you literally never know with her!

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?

I'd know the last two pretty well the examiners have commented people have missed chances to apply them in other sections on the paper!

I appreciate the positivity Hope I could be as lucky! I doubt it thought, one good question, two ok and two disastrous

Oh god equity was awful, does anyone know what happens if you get a question completely wrong? I had made the question on DMC about prop estoppel. Wondering do they throw you ANY marks at all? 😢😢

Contract people


Can anyone explain the following to me:

John Elliot v Irish Asphalt Case

The difference between the Mercini Lady and Airtransport Ltd v Bombardier (interpreting exemption clauses)

While not sufficient consideration, I will reward you with my prayers (O' Neill v Murphy)

LawGirl3434

Also sorry last question - are people covering CESL for consumer legilsation? Think it came up a few years ago

nmurphy1441

First time sitting the exams this week!!! Just wondering, I always forget some case law here and there. I know it is very very important all the same! How do examiners dock marks if you forget to mention a case or two on a question?

lmsc

Does anyone have an up to date contract grid? I would very much appreciate it if someone was willing to share it with me!

holliek

Does anyone have the 2018 Oct examiners report for contract?

On a scale of 1 to May's Brexit plan, how effed am I for contract if I just have the following:

Offer & acceptance

Intention to Create Legal relations
Frustration
Consideration

You have to do exemption clauses they get mixed in questions

Is anybody else leaving out infringement proceedings? I've covered judicial review and the basics of preliminary reference and am running out of time so hoping to cut it

I'm leaving out Infringement, competition and preliminary reference, so should be okay!

As long as you show that you understand the question you aren't going to be crucified for forgetting a few case names. Last October I drew a blank in Equity and forgot loads of cases but still passed

Phew! That’s good to hear! Went blank during Equity today for the SP question! Thanks!

Is there any recent(ish) law reform papers on any contract topics or topics which are considered to need reform? I don't see any, but just checking in case I've missed something

Constitution

I wonder if any kind soul would be able to send me the actual Constitution Exam. Thanks a mill!

They mightn’t even come up but you’d never know! Persona Digital Telephony v Min for Public Expenditure 2017 & SPV Optimal Osus v HSBC International 2018. Both maintenance/champerty contacts, Irish courts don’t care for them. Might be nice just to glance over, pretty straight forward!
