Does anyone know if you are still allowed hand in legislation on the morning of the exam? I notice on the letter that I received that they have to be in the day before, if doesn't say anything about dropping them in on the day. Two sittings ago I dropped legislation in on the morning and got it about half an hour into the exam but just wondering has this changed?

This is my first time sitting the exams and i have made a rookie error in forgetting to bring a watch with me for timing purposes. It is probably a stupid question but I presume there is Clocks in the room?

I think that's always been on the letter. Can't imagine there'd be any issue handing them in on the morning.

Just an fyi for anyone driving. Parking charges apply, 5 euro. Take ticket to reception for the discount rate. Just called to confirm with hotel reception. Didn't fancy getting clamped.

What do we need to bring with us to the exam? Were we given an exam number that I should know? lastminute.com

You should have received a letter from the Law Society that would have your three digit Candidate Number on it that you will need to find your assigned seat.

You also need to bring ID (passport/drivers license) as they check this during the exam when you sign the attendance sheet.

Other than that, lots of pens and water

Were big clocks in each room I was in in March. I would be extremely surprised if it wasnt the same this time.

Help appreciated! ;(

What should I be focusing on?
I have notes made out since last sitting but have to cram them over the weeken and am panicking none of it will come back to me!

I have notes for elements and characteristics of a crime, murder/manslaughter, sexual offenses, non fatal offenses, theft and fraud offenses and defenses!

Am I leaving out anything crucial??

Please help!

If there is a Red Storm warning issued for parts of Ireland on Thursday night/early Friday Morning will the Constitutional exam be postponed? Traveling from Galway, will be leaving home at about 5am. Trying to make alternative arrangements but not looking good at the moment.

I found it tough, I was really stuck for time.

I had 2 good questions, 2 middling questions and 1 poor question

The last paper was nasty but I scraped through. What topics came up?

What I think came up -

Q1 Occupiers
Q2 Standard of Care
Q3 Nuisance/Trespass to Land
Q4 Products...Possibly Employers?
Q5 Defamation
Q6 Fatal Injuries
Q7 Wasn't sure about this one. I think it's DOC of Good Samaritans or Trespass to Person
Q8 Objectives of Tort

Could be wrong for some of those so someone might correct me if I am!

user115

I think occupiers, defamation (again!), product, nuisance, function of tort, what happens when tort person dies?! Whatever that is...

Wasn't really happy with it, very difficult, hope I passed though, so not expecting what came up. Dreading now incase company tomorrow is a total weird paper like today

Anyone stressing about tort, I passed last sitting and having viewed my script he is a kind marker, gave marks even where I went off topic and stuff

Q8 - Objectives of tort? OMG anyone did that question?

I completely blanked out on product liability (having known it well and revised, and actually being able to recite all cases when leaving the exam hall. Just found it was a tough paper and panicked at the start. Did my 4 questions and started Q8 as my last one. I talked about pure economic loss and negligent misstatement (knew this really well), that its uncertain and blah blah kinda trying to relate it to the question (faceslap). Should have just waffled on the product liability question instead. Hope he is kind to me.

2 questions answered well on Tort and didnt answer the other 3 in great detail, literally a page/2 pages for the remaining 3, starting to think ive a very slim chance of passing!

What did people think of Q.2? Do you think it was flexible - commenting on examples of varying SOCs? Or more of the standard - go through reasonable man, gravity etc.? Or open to interpretation? Bit worried.

Found it tough enough but fair. I'll be going again in March, couldn't remember a single case and stupidly did the essay questions. Wasn't prepped enough, no nervous shock.:(

Jack McCoy

I found that product liability question to be exceptionally tricky. Was completely lost in it.

Saw the doctor question and skipped it. Presumed it was professional negligence again but trespass etc is a good shout. Is that four papers in a row for defamation!?

Re Q8, I waffled about Duty of Care. Figured it was worth a bash given the reference to the last 100 years and balancing individual cases with the wider context.

What did people think of Q.2? Do you think it was flexible - commenting on examples of varying SOCs? Or more of the standard - go through reasonable man, gravity etc.? Or open to interpretation? Bit worried.

I went through probability of the harm and all that. Forgot to mentioned that the standard could be varied in different instances. I think both are valid.

I'm not hoping we get hit by a hurricane, but I could do with some extra time for Constitutional!

That's really interesting, from the examiners' reports you'd definitely get the impression that he's very hard on people!

I completely agree with this! While the papers are tough he does appear to be a fairly nice marker.

I passed Tort in the last sitting and was really sure that I had failed. I completely misinterpreted one question but he must've still given me marks for my application of the law despite it being tangental to the question asked.
It actually ended up being one of my best results so far despite the fact that it's the one I was definitely most worried about afterwards.

Anyone have any March 2019 reports? t

Sounds exactly like what produced last year and I still passed. Keep your head down and keep going.

Is anyone able to explain right of redemption to me in plain language? and also what are the important cases?

COMPANY - SLP

Is it correct in saying that no agency was found in Fyffes but SEE was and Denham J reaffirmed that SEE could still be an exception if found in the exceptional circumstances - like what was said in Allied Irish Coal Suppliers?

Also, does anyone have the facts of Fyffes very briefly and simply that they could send in? I have in my notes to make sure to know the facts of this case but from my revision it just appears that you need to know what cases were discussed in Fyffes, not sure if the actual facts are as important?
