I have passed my leg. on to someone otherwise i would send to you - but honestly i didn't go near the legislation for Contract and I probably used the Succession Act like twice - and that was just to make doubly sure on something.

Don't leave it be the end of the world if you don't have them - I completely agree with the above...not essential at all :)

Am I mad leaving out AG, President and Referendum?

I'm at the panic station about to board a train. For Equity tomorrow, i am covering:

• DMC
• Strong V Bird
• 3 C's
• Trusteeship - duties of, removal of, and prepared Re. Hastings Bass a note.
• Mareva and Quia Timet - but i know QT a lot better
• Proprietary Estoppel - just starting to learn my notes
• CPT and CY Pres and NCPT

Decided to leave out Satisfaction cos I just can't fit it into my brain. I think i'll have enough but i'd feel better if someone could confirm? 🤣

Anybody else noticing a difference in the style of question for equity over the last few sittings.

My brain could be a mush at this stage and i could be overthinking but i thought i was relatively ok with preparation until i got to the most recent papers.

Yeah i think I noticed that myself, I passed Equity at the last sitting and I found there was some of the usual bankers and then some newer questions - but on reflection, the questions all came up aren't 'new style' they have come up at some stage over like the past 10 years.

There was an undue influence q on the last sitting, think it was "advise Gaelic Bank" and that was a carbon copy from like a 2014 paper. So my advice would be you need to go back as far as that. I wouldn't usually do that, the last 10 papers are usually enough for me but for Equity it would be worth having a glance.

Sexy Paper!!!!!!!

lawDani

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118814278#Comment_118814278

thanks for that. I think o may have messed up the cypres question and spoke about enforcement of non charitable trusts as well as cypres.

amd I somehow I ended up typing in bold and couldn’t correct that for the rest of the exam…. Awh I hope the examiner has a good day correcting mine 🤞🏻🙏

do they ever take a 6th question into account of you jotted points down? Or is it just your best 5 regardless

I hope everyone is happy and good luck with the rest of them!

I wonder if it had anything to do with the fail rate last time round… 😅🥵 I heard the pass rate was very low last time.

Any tips for contract tomorrow?

I feel relatively prepared but have heard bad things about this exam 😥

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118814711#Comment_118814711

I think over and above offer, acceptance. consideration and estoppel I found the most important things to know:- consumer protection, breach of contract/misrep/mistake, UI, damages... biggest tip! the Examiners Reports mentioned on a few occasions that people forget to mention the EU Regulations so put these in where they fit. Also, I mentioned Consumer Protection in any question where it was relevant and not just in the direct consumer protection Q.

Hope this helps.

That's a good point about the EU Regs, they seem to be mad about them 😂 thanks a mill!

Feeling a bit brain dead after my third exam today.

My last is property on Wednesday. What should I make sure I cover?

I’ve gone from panicking about all these exams to being ready to give up from exhaustion 😵‍💫

I’m not questioning it - just a lovely paper and I’m glad of it 😂

stressedstudent123

Starting to freak out for property. Haven’t learned my notes yet and am only covering:

Licences

Easements

Succession

Co-ownership

Family Property

Adverse Possession

Finding

Am I ok? Seems like it’s marked very easily 😂

FE1_Hun

Anyone know if property is marked easily?

Meg!

There is a new examiner since Nov 2020

I think Dr Aisling Parkes is back apparently??? Seems like it might just be when she is on maternity leave or something that the other guy covers because it’s just for some sittings and then for other sittings she’s back??

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118817298#Comment_118817298

If she is back then you are all laughing. I did it when she was off and i was so happy with my paper but got 50.

My friend isn't on this and he is looking for an updated Property Grid if someone could please message one onto me?
