FE1 Exam Thread (Read 1st post!) NOTICE: YOU MAY SWAP EXAM GRIDS

Lostudent

Hi law peeps,

Anyone have up-to-date Tort or Company grids?

I don't have any good grids to swap but I do have my notes on Contract, Property and Criminal (got a ~65% pass rate on those topics)

Cheers!

Hi guys,

Can someone explain what principle we are being asked to discuss in question 2 of eu paper (re general principles) when mentioning the principle of practical possibility and equivalence? My understanding was that only the following general principles were examinable; equality, fundamental rights, principle of subsidiarity/ proportionality, legal certainty, transparency and legitimate expectation? Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🀗

thank you

Thinking of doing:

Trial in due course of law
Causation
Murder/ Manslaughter
NFOAP 97
Sexual Offences
Theft and Fraud
Criminal Damage
Inchoate Offences
Some Defences
Arrest and Detention
Bail


And leaving it at that. Will I hit the 50? Is there anything I could cut?

Lumi77

I would do the Courts as one of them comes up. and I would leave out the arrest detention and bail. have an idea but thats all.

I spent to much time on it on my exam and only comes up as one line in a problem question.

supersaint3

Thanks Lumi! That's criminal sorted, now need to compile a similar list for Contract, Equity and Property........

Has Prop Estoppel came up in last 2 sittings? My grid has the lst one in March 15? It is not that bad of a topic and appears to take a sitting out and then pops up for a few sittings in a row.

Came up in Equity in March!

Yeah, Equity, cheers. Assume it was a problem question? Any idea if it came up the previous sitting?
As I said it is a handy enough topic so considering it is so regular, I would be silly not to cover it.
Just want to equate the chances of it appearing to some degree. Two in a row sittings, if it were such would lessen its chances.

Wish it hadn't came up in March!!

COMP LAW

Can anyone copy paste the actual questions that came up on corporate borrowings the last 2 sittings? Or even a general outline of what they involved? Or even tell me if they were equivalent to any of the preceding years? (I have papers up until March 2016)

Was there anything on retention of title, or related to it the last couple of sittings?

Cheers

You can highlight and tab.

For EU I was going to cover everything except State Aid & Participation and Private International Law but would like to know if there's anything else I could leave out. Institutions, FMG, Competition, Equality, Judicial Review and Direct Effect have come up in each sitting under this examiner so definitely cover these well.

In relation to the question below. I know that the Government cannot spend the money on one side more than the other.
In relation to the parties i presume they can spend it on which ever side they want?
I also presume that they have to spend the money they are given on the referendum only? However, i do not have anything in my manual or cases about the 2nd two points.
Does anybody have info?


The Government announces that it intends to hold a referendum to change the voting system
for general elections to a 'first-past-the-post' system. Following the passing of the 40th
Amendment to the Constitution (Voting Reform) Act 2014 on August 30th, 2014 it is announced
that the referendum will be held on December 1st, 2014.
The Oireachtas votes to allow the Government €5 million to fund what is described as a
“citizen’s educational update” about Ireland’s electoral system. This programme operates
during the months of September and October. It involves radio and television broadcasts about
the ‘problems of Ireland’s PR system’, as well as a ‘civic responsibility video’ which all
schoolchildren and recipients of social welfare and pension payments are obliged to watch.
The programme concludes on October 15th, which is the same day that the writ for the
referendum is moved by the Minister for the Environment.
A small surplus in the programme is allocated to the two main political parties for the purposes
of furthering civic education. Both parties are in favour of the proposed change to the
Constitution.
One of the parties uses the money to fund a poster campaign arguing for a Yes vote in the
referendum.
The other uses the money to fund the party leader’s daily expenses, which includes the cost of
travelling to meetings and other political events, some of which will be connected with the
party’s referendum campaign.
The ‘Citizen’s Against First-Past-the-Post’ group are opposed to the referendum and are
concerned about the way in which this money has been used. They have asked you to advise
them if there are any grounds upon which they could challenge the legality of the expenditure
by the government and by both political parties.

Does anyone have the Tort examiner report from March 2017 they might be able to email me, please?

BASHBAG

Hey,

Just a quick question for anyone who has completed subjects in which some of the topics overlap. Have you found that learning it through one manual (set of notes) will cover you for the other subject. For example proprietary estoppel regularly comes up in both equity and property exams, would I be covered if I just learned it using the property manual?

Just looking to cut down the material as much as possible.

Thanks
