Casenote might be grand on the day but it's not one I'm gonna bank on.

Study going very slow for constit been going through papers til 2015 to work out what topics are usually up and its so hard to know, questions are so specific and topics are so broad. I'm really hoping it won't be that bad in exam, really think he must be an alright marker if there is usually about 65-70 pass rate

I have yet to cover:
- Privacy, FOE, FOA, very popular
- Liberty
- Family and 42A, i think 42A is a fairly popular question
- Equality
- Unconstit
- Amending constit

Have already done:
- Interpret
- SOP
- Property rights
- Right earn livihood
- President and AG
- Locus Standi
- Fair procedures

Going to have to drink a serious amount of coffee to do 8 topics in space 4-5days....

How are you set, what topics you covering? Do you think I should cut anything from list above or anything I should really have done?

I haven’t gone through the papers that much at all. I think we need to know as broad an area as we can. Yes I’m having lots of difficulty understanding questions so I hope I can get 5 on the Day. Are you condensing notes a lot? I am getting through those topics you mentioned just trying to cover all then hope I can revise very well a few days before. I’ve trial and due course to cover, but only picking a few from it and just reading the rest. Proportionally also.
Are you covering referendum law? It’s so big! I’m wanting to not do it

You can call the government publications office and pay over the phone and they'll post them out. Takes up to 5 working days to deliver so you should do that soon to be safe. You can buy the constitution in book shops either

Thanks that'really helpful, so that was more of a general question on how catholicism runs through different parts of constit and you bring in things you listed. That's actually not bad question, would just be so stressed in exam that I have to zone in on a certain area, esp since most other exams are like that. Really hate that about constit, a Q could be just about 1 topic or about many.....so dreading it.

Thanks for this though, good approach to keep in mind for exam. Really hoping it is not as bad as I think on the day

Yeah I think he's a somewhat generous marker he was pretty sound in undergrad from what I recall though that's nearly 10 years ago!!!

A question like that is so vague there's quite a few angles to approach it, there is enough there to even discuss different interpretative methods in that q it could be a good way to approach religion in the constitution (as judges now may unintentionally draw a more secular approach than they would have in the past etc). I've passed it twice and both times I honestly hadn't covered that many topics. Other than first principles (interpretation, admin law principles like judicial review etc) I just stuck very rigidly to topical stuff, recent sc and echr cases as I figured they might have been inspiring to him!

Hi,
It was:
Discuss the situations where a conveyance by a spouse/civil partner of an interest in the family/shared home will be valid despite the absence of prior written consent by the other spouse/civil partner. Your answer should be supported by relevant legal authority.

Does anybody have the Examiner’s Report for October’s EU Paper?

Alternatively, I’m wondering how people would’ve gone about the Member State Liability essay - particularly given its specific reference to equivalence, effectiveness, and practical possibility.

Any help appreciated! Thx

Just judging by past papers and reports it doesn't seem hugely possible to leave many areas out, aside from those that never come up/haven't been examined in the last decade. Seems as though even a question that's based 80% on one main topic will have have hints of another niche topic throw in to make it possible to pick up extra marks. I'd like to leave out a few more but feel like I could be doing myself out of a few handy marks by doing so!

I think Limitations might be a shout for Tort. I wouldn't cut down if possible tbh, it's so unpredictable and anything can come up.

Limitations, damages, passing off, nervous shock, vicarious and a trespass to person question are my hopefuls.

Also think Causation will probably come up.

Has anyone come back to you re EU Examiner Report? I can send it on to you if not.

Would anyone have a sample answer for any question in Property, Equity, or Criminal that they could send me? Even just one sample answer so I can get an idea as to how people are structuring them. Not sure I'm going about answering them the right way!

Family Constitutional

Does the defacto family have any rights under Irish Constitution? Does Article 40.3 impact on them some way?

I know they are not recognized as having the protection under Art 41 because it is not a family based on marriage, this confirmed in MCD v L 2009 but is there some way that Article 40.3 unemnumerated rights gives them some sort of protection?

I'm really confused about family, only going to briefly do it and focus on 42a and definition on family, there is a lot in my manual about right to protection from unjust attack but like there is so much dunno if I'll cover that part seems to never be asked and so caught for time

I’m doing mostly the same. Not doing your first three or Receivership, but I’m doing Share Transfer and Fraudulent/Reckless where you’re not. Tbh I figure we should have more than enough.

Once you consider there’s a Directors and a Borrowing question on each paper you’re only looking for 3 of your remaining topics to appear.
