Anybody have an idea where's handy to park around Neptune Stadium? Don't venture over to the North side so often!

If you get there early enough, there’s a few spaces there. Maybe enough for 20 cars!

I am just wondering how many cases do you tend to mention per exam question? I know it differs depending on the question itself but for a general problem question on a specific topic, what should the average be?

Also, if you're short on time in the exam would it be sufficient to scribble down a case name beside a test for example, just to show that the case relates to that test, if you don't have time to go into any other details of it?

I think the general rule is for each significant and important point you make in an answer you should be able to give 3 cases to back it up, for smaller points one case should do.

If your running out of time you should scribble everything you know, you wont lose marks for it and you might gain some if the case is relevant, whereas you defo wont gain marks for a blank page I ran out of time in criminal and at the end I just did bullet points with cases and concise information, hoping i get some marks for it!

Of course. Easements and LL/Tenant are the only 'big ticket' topics missing from that list which I can think of but you should be fine with what you've got. Especially so considering that between AP and Succession alone you'll likely have three questions covered.

Tort

Is tort similar to criminal where the questions are mixed so you can just learn the main tests and cases per topic?

I dont know if this will help but


COMMON MISTAKE -
A wants to sell Corn, B wants to buy ---> but corn has perished.

MUTUAL MISTAKE
A has two cars Audi and Ford
B wants to buy a car. B thinks A is selling Audi. But A actually meant Ford.


(sorry if I ended up infantalising the confusion)

Common mistake is both parties making the same mistake as one another...

Mutual mistake is both parties still make a mistake but they are different mistakes....

If that’s any help! What’s confusing you?

Mutual mistake means the parties were never ad idem and a contract could be said to not objectively exist - Clayton Love, Mespill v Capaldi. Difference between a mistake as to terms and a mistake as to effect of terms.

Common mistake - void where sufficiently important (great peace). Voidable in equity as per O Neill v Ryan and Intrum Justita

Hi it’s the worrier again...

For Contract, will I pass if I have knowledge of offer & acceptance, consideration, intention to create, estoppel, capacity, terms, duress, mistake, misrep, exclusion clauses, consumer contracts, undue influence, discharge & remedies

By knowledge I mean I know as much of it as is in my manual but when reading the reports there’s a few nitty gritty bits in problem qs that I don’t have info on, and then she sometimes will ask an entire essay on duty to mitigate loss when it’s such a tiny section in my chapter on remedies.

Will this get me the pass? I feel like I nearly should have gone outside the manual but no time for that now feel like I’m at a disadvantage - my manual is up to date but there’s always something I’m missing.

The entire course 😹

The manual is more then enough and by reading the reports gives you an idea of what the examiner expects. Remember you only need 50 to pass - key cases and relevant legislation.
