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!

Thanks for this!

Yeah personally wouldn’t stress on this - in the former Denham J literally said nothing she could do a matter for the oiteachtas if going to change

I think if illegality is going to come up it would be under statute, more meaty but just my opinion

In Persona they seemed to say that champerty is illegal by virtue of statue, really really old statute. That confused me

Perhaps a really stupid question, but is it correct to refer to the 'CJEU' throughout the exam? Or the 'ECJ'? Obviously with the exception of in an institutions Q involving the courts or in a judicial review Q where you would need to distinguish

I wonder 🀔 seen that proprietary estoppel didn’t come up in Equity would promissory be thrown into Contract ?
I notice the examiners try to avoid overlaps

On revision I notice it quite often seems to be a commercial transaction Q and based on Sec 14 of SOG

That’s just on my quick review but I only went back 5-6 papers

That point was picked up in examiners reports he said not to worry he would assume they are interchangable, also said that about people using EEC provisions rather than TFEU, he accepts both and won't penalize

It's supposed to be 1pm, but in my experience they're often still there as late as 2!

Can somebody explain to me the position of student workers? I know in Grzelczyk that the court found that a Belgian student in the same position as the French student applicant would have been granted the subsistence allowance, and so this was found to be discriminatory on grounds of his nationality. But I also have in my notes that the case of Brown v Secretary of State for Scotland is authority for the fact that non-national student workers aren't entitled to full social advantages as a fully fledged worker under EU law.

Does this mean that if the non-national-student is working part-time through university, he won't be entitled to all the social and tax advantages of a non-national person (not a student), but that if he is not working at all and is simply attending uni, he will be entitled to student loans the same as a national-student?

You are right about Grzelczyk they found it was discriminatory... in Browne the problem was that the student technically entered into university first, so first they must work THEN take up a qualification / enter uni... he only got the job offer as he was granted admission to uni, in my notes I just have beside it WORK MUST come first. Then studies. And you can benefit. But in Browne admission came first work after so no benefit

Direct effect and member state liability

xBell123

For EU I’ve got:

Institutions
General principles
Fundamental rights
Direct effect
MS liability
FMG
FMW
Citizenship
Equality
Judicial review

Trying to decide whether I should learn Articles 101 and 102 OR preliminary reference and sources of law?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated ��

For Contract today; the first part of Q1 was on Past Consideration?

I put Promissory Estoppel but it's not that, right?

For general principles, is it likely that it won't be fundamental rights if that came up last time? More likely to be an essay on general principles?

He seems to really like fundamental rights though so even if it comes up as an essay on gen principles, I would devote a least ⅓ of my essay to discussion of fundamental rights
