I know in application receipt they said these details would be sent out approximately 2 weeks before the start of the exams but I haven't received anything yet.

Redo91 wrote: » Thanks. That must be it. Knew about those cases but just threw me when the manual referred to a Gormley v DPP case. If you're citing the case in the exam would you be able to just refer to DPP v Gormley or would you need to mention DPP v White too?
Pickpocket wrote: » Hi guys. I've just decided I'm gonna have to cut out some contract topics. My intention was to do at least something on every topic, even for use as a wild card/Hail Mary answer, but I've had a look at my calendar and realised it's not workable. I simply have to cut something out or I'm gonna spread myself too thin. I note that City Colleges' 'night before notes' from October 2016 list the following as topics that should always be revised: offer & acceptance, consideration/estoppel, contractual terms, exclusion clauses, consumer contracts, mistake, misrepresentation, discharge and damages. Is there anything else you'd add to that core list based on recent grids, etc? Thanks.

I don't know if you've seen the exam papers but on the October paper Q1 contained two topics, Q2 had three, Q3 had three, Q4 had two and Q6 was and answer (a) and (b) question. Be careful as well of relying too much on the grids and leaving a topic out just because it's not often examined and came up on the previous paper; illegality was asked in both 2016 sittings for example.

Would the undergrad level of roughly 8 cases per question get you through? Generally speaking (I know some chapters require more/less).
