Has anyone heard of a case for UNDUE INFLUENCE called AIB v Rostoff or Rostov? It's in my equity notes from 2 years ago and was under appeal to IECA but can't find anything at all on it. If I got the right name, it would be great!




Also, anyone doing constitutional....order the supreme court book now! You don't need to read it all. brilliant help for exam!

It's still under appeal and won't be heard till after this round of exams at the earliest.

I have been trying to ring and email law society with no luck. I was wondering if any of you have the same problem with regards to the october application. My passport/licence includes my middle name but my law society profile doesn't. It says on the application form that they have to match exactly but the website won't allow me to add my middle name/edit my name in the edit profile section.. the LS wont get back to me to tell me whether this will be a problem or not/how to remedy it so i was wondering on the off chance whether anyone here had the same problem?

My passport has my middle name and my driving licence has a different surname to the one they have, can't remember which I submitted, but it never gave me a problem, so I'd say you'll be grand

My Passport and Drivers licence both include my middle name. I never used it in FE1 applications and I had no problems or no questions asked.

The Supreme Court, by Ruadhan Mac Cormaic

It's not a study guide or anything, just a novel about the history of the courts I believe

With the "Living with COVID" plan that's about to be released, there's a limit of 50 in indoor gatherings in Level 2, and only 15 at Level 3. As Dublin is going to be initially set at 3, and the rest of the country at 2, could we be in a situation where exams are set at centres outside Dublin to facilitate in person exams, or will it be cancelled for all so that exams take place virtually?

I think there are a number of options depending on the situation.

1. Cancelled for everyone.
2. Online for everyone.
3. Online for people in level three and above areas and in person for everyone else.
4. Postponed for level three areas.

This kind of decision probably won't be made until after the 21st anyway since the Law Society will need to see what their numbers are like as that will probably be the biggest contributing factor to their decision.

They have apparently ruled out online examinations ( someone was told this over the phone by the LS when they asked about It being online) though they could change their minds.

In my opinion I see them either pushing ahead with them in person or if the limit is reduced to 15 postponing until the limit is back up to 50

Plus the government will make an announcement Tuesday on these new plans so we’ll know more about the situation for Dublin then!

For Criminal are we supposed to be advising in problem questions how many years imprisonment and what fines are applicable to the offences we say the person in question could be convicted of? I've just been learning off the elements and cases for each offence but not the punishment so I'm wondering if I should do that now.

It would definitely be a good piece to include in your concluding advice in a PQ, I would try to learn the punishments if you can. But if you forget it on the day I don't think it would be the end of the world. The criminal examiner is a nice marker too, so if you can't learn them all off I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Legislation, elements of the offence, and cases would be far more important to know. If you can learn the punishments it would be the icing on top but definitely wouldn’t be learning them off to detriment of the others. Criminal examiner up there with the EU examiner as one of the soundest FE1 markers in my opinion.

Could anyone please tell me a few topics that you’d be safe enough leaving out completely for company? Left it a bit late to start and need to cut it down a fair bit!

ruby1998

Also, has anyone else's application not been approved yet?

Vegetarian2017

Has anyone got any reply from the law society with regard to the application for EU and Tort? For those of us waiting on the results on 28th but the deadline being 21st if we do not pay and apply to sit them does that mean they will refuse our late application if we fail them? Confused.com

Mine hasn't either, I think it normally takes a week so might take longer (most things seem to be slower at the minute)

When I got through to them they said to apply and pay for them and then they will refund you if you've passed.
Has anyone else been told this too?

Takes a few working days I think

Haven't heard this but I honestly wished I made the money they think we do.
As if I can do without that money until months down the line when they decide to refund us.

If I was a gambler going into the bookies..,

Charitable trusts/ cy-pres (a must)
Injunctions (A must)
Undue influence (nearly always)
Tracing for the craic as an extra popping up more recently.
Estoppel common (but came up last year so I maybe gamble no just have an oul read)
Dona mortis causa-never came up last time so it’s due and a nice learnable topic. (A must)
Everything on trustees
3C’s due a run for either a question or a part question on objects

Could learn the two part question variables depending on your time.

Secrets trusts came up last time as prob question..But could come up again.

Highest fail rate so aim for 5 good questions.

In an ideal world know everything but sometimes you may chance an extra exam or may not have the time. I would personally it go through exam papers and say to myself if I did these 8 topics would I be safe and look through the years. Sometimes this doesn’t work as well depending on the exam but see how you go.

Good luck.
