I had all notes done a few weeks ago and have been trying to cram since. I have a handful of topics left in each subject to cram. I’ve looked at a few papers but keep putting it off because it’s time consuming and I feel like I should be memorising.
My first exam is Company. I’ve gone over the topics once and plan on doing a recap this weekend. But then it’s criminal equity and Eu and I don’t know how that’s going to work out....
Feeling panicked and discouraged.
Heya, I know this feeling well! Especially the avoiding exam papers part. But honestly (maybe this is only for me) the exam papers are the best way to memorise because you start recognising where the cases fit in around a question. bite the bullet and have a look at papers with your notes open beside you. Then try another question and another and soon you'll be able to put your notes away and the questions and words in the qs will be memory joggers!
You've gotten this far, you can keep going don't give up! Trust that the knowledge is going somewhere. Have a cup of tea, take a deep breath and go again! keep calm

Could someone please help me out and give me a quick rundown on Prescription and the new law in relation to it? My manual is very confusing and my head is fried from it. Thanks very much
This is my understanding of it.
Old law
Section 1 of the Prescription (Ireland) Act 1858: 20 years' continuous use next before some suit or action (i.e. up until the date in the problem Q) of a right capable of being an easement (Re Ellenborough Park) without force, secrecy or permission, and without written or oral consent.
Section 2: 40 years' continuous use next before some suit or action (i.e. up until the date in the problem Q) of a right capable of being an easement (Re Ellenborough Park) without force, secrecy or permission, and without written consent. If you fulfil these the easement is "absolute and indefeasible" unless enjoyed by written consent.
Section 3: 20 years' continuous use next before some suit or action (i.e. up until the date in the problem Q) of a right to light without force, secrecy or permission, and without written consent. Same as section 2, if you fulfil these criteria it's absolute and indefeasible unless enjoyed by written consent.
So the short period takes less time but can be defeated by oral or written consent, whereas the long period requires more time but can only be defeated by written consent. The right to light enjoys the benefits of both: it has a short period and can't be defeated by oral consent.
New law
Section 33 and 35 of the LCLRA 2009: easements by prescription require a 12 year period of user as of right, or 30 years against a State authority, or 60 years if the servient land is State foreshore (the land between the high and low water mark).
The most important thing here is that per the Civil Law (Misc Provisions) Act 2011, unless a claim was brought by 1 December 2012, you can't currently bring a claim for a new easement under the new rules. The earliest day the new rules can be used is 1 December 2021, as this is 12 years from 1 December 2009. Claims against a State authority will have to wait until 1 December 2039, or 1 December 2069 if they pertain to foreshore.
Hope this cleared things up a bit! Don't worry about the new rules unless there's an essay on the difference between the two.0 -

Hi guys,
Can I just ask how people are going about revising for these puke wrenching exams...
I have my notes but I seem to be retyping them as I'm revising... I thought this would help me to learn but I literally finish and feel like I know nothing☹️☹️ (I seem to let my head get the better of me when it comes to these exams)
Is there a better way, should I be rhyming off my notes or writing questions.. Feeling completely overwhelmed, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
It's totally normal to feel overwhelmed with it all!
The night before Contract last sitting I wasn't anywhere near prepared and was considering not even going in.
Left the exam in bits and all. Ended up passing & know of loads of people that were in similar situations with the other exams that also passed when they were sure they failed - Just don't give up, you'll surprise yourself on the day! It's absolutely crazy what comes back to you during the exam
If you feel you're short of time re. learning cases atm, focus on the cases the particular FE1 examiner lists in their Report(s). It's not an exhaustive list of every case you'll need, but it's definitely a good foundation.
After reading something I always found it effective to talk the topic through with someone in person, (or even talk at a dog/cat if you live alone) because it becomes apparent when you're trying to articulate on something the areas you're not familiar with/need to read up on.
That's my two cents anyway.
