Both look good to me and similar to what i am covering. I was going to include privity but heard it not likely to come up and u have to take risks somewhat i suppose well for those of us working fulltime.

I think there should be a scheme where your marked differently like even a few percent if u prove working fulltime till the end. It so unfair people who get like a month off work or more to study and you could be marked right after them and have worked twice as hard really ;(*

Yes - the 1976 Act protected the matrimonial home and that's why civil/unqualified cohabitants were not protected by it. Same-sex married couples are now covered.

Part 4 of the 2010 Act provides for rights of civil partners in respect of the family home, that are in substance the same as the FHPA regime.

For cohabitants, there is a "safety net" in Part 15 of the 2010 Act. If cohabiting for 5y (or 2y if children together) and is financially dependent on the other.
Court may make some orders if it's satisfied it's just & equitable to do so (S.173(2)).

These are the Equity Topics I have that Griffith told us to cover.

1. Injunctions
2. Express Trusts
3. Charitable Trusts
4. Resulting Trusts
5. Trusteeship
6. Tracing
7. Specific Performance
8. Constructive Trusts
9. Undue Influence

Can anyone send me Undue influence sample answers or mortgage sample notes/answers?! PLEASE!

For injunctions did they say to focus on any in particular? For constructive and resulting I'm wondering the same? I'm just worried about something crazy specific coming up in certain areas like last year bringing up quistclose when its 5 of 900 pages in Biehler

In order I'm doing

-SLP
-Directors
-Shareholder Remedies
-Winding Up
-Floating Charges
-Receivership
-Examinership
-Dividends
-Restriction
-Shares
-SAP

If I've time I'll do ultra vires and ostensible authority, I probably should have put them ahead of the last 3, but regarding the order I think 2/3 of liquidation, receivers and examiners could come up with the latter two maybe even mixed. I don't fancy something specific as share transfer and restriction to come up 2 years in a row and SLP, Directors (likely 228, 231 & 238 maybe in a problem) and shareholder remedies are good for 2 questions again most likely, leaves you with needing 1 more

Do I seem mad with my logic or ?

Natalie_06 · 22-09-2018 01:26PM

Does anyone have EU sample answers? I have other material to swap

yournerd · 22-09-2018 01:41PM

Any recent case law in contract that should be mentioned?

I agree with you on the directors Q, although I also wouldn't be surprised with a nice essay on different types of directors etc, has appeared in a couple past papers.

Also think Authority, Realisation of Corporate Assets, and Reckless and Fraudulent Trading could all be due a spin, as I agree with you that I don't think share transfer and restrictions will come up as they have done two sittings in a row (here's hoping anyway as I haven't time to get them learnt)

Fuguestate · 22-09-2018 03:23PM

I'm in two minds about cutting out certain sub-topics. For example, my lecturer said she's never seen tenders or delay come up in an Offer question. But is it too risky?

Tenders is only like 3 cases
Harvela (Couldnt accept ref bid)
Howberry Lane ( Privilege Clause, could accept any bid)
Smart Telecom (Ref bids only where expressly permitted)

Delay can just be 1 case
Ramsgate Victoria (revoked by delay, Offer to buy shares not accepted for 6 months)

Natalie_06 · 22-09-2018 03:51PM

I think that landlord and tenant law will come up for property

has anyone got any sample answers on it in the past couple of years or have notes on any of the 2 pieces of legislation?

residential tenancies amendment act 2015
planning and development act 2016

please pm me, thanks

Cheers, I take your point. But the above are just two examples, whereas I've heard all four or my levtueres say similar things about numerous topics. Combined, it adds up to a fair amount or case law when I'm already bursting at the seems. But yeah, no shortcuts!

iamanengine · 22-09-2018 04:29PM

Anyone think it's relatively safe to leave out Damages and Defamation considering how often they've come up the last few years...?

I think it's highly possible yes. What is the second act you're looking notes for though? I don't think I have heard of it *worried*. Or is it just part of the Residential Tenancies Acts 2004-2016?
Edit: answered myself by googling x).

Commercial leases defintely coming up. I would say a PQ. Especially considering he said it was worrying nobody knew about business equity and how much it is used in practice.

Landlord and tenant act 1980-1994; business equity, long user equity and improvement equity. Also compensation for improvements and disturbance. S.46,s.47,48,58

Also good to know you can renounce your rights under business equity when entering into the contract. Weren’t able to do this until the civil law 2008 Bill but now you can!

The exceptions under a.17(1)(a)(iv) and 17 (2)

& Deasys Act. If RTA comes up again probably will be the same question, maybe include tenant obligations too this time round...

Both exam papers are written at the start of the year so he wouldn't necessarily have known that people don't understand Business Equity. I would say it's far more likely on the March 19 paper than the October 18 one

Yeah Very true! But if he is going to examine that topic again I’d say we can expect to see it in a problem question whether it’s a commercial lease, residential or a lease/license distinction type Q!
I had him in College and the fe1 exam was identical to our summer exam, bar 2 questions from the college one, so I’m hoping they’ll now appear this October!
Wishful thinking lol.

One was on commercial leases the other freehold estates!

Hi, I actually didn't do the course.. my friend did the course and sat equity (passed first time- see there is hope! ðŸ˜œ) last march and gave me their notes during the summer so I'm not too sure whether or griffith give their students specific aspects of topics to focus on.

Smiley283 · 22-09-2018 07:21PM

Has anyone a march 2018 property law paper and hopefully a examiners report they could share with me?

Guys, I thought that about the exam papers too but one of the lecturers said its not like that for every subject so maybe with the new property examiner, he might have said he'd prefer to draft the October paper after the March sitting...? Hard to know whether he'll upset the applecart!

I reckon they have set rules that papers need to be drafted in Jan. Suppose we will never know though! Such massive lack of transparency with law society don't know why they can't just publish a marking scheme and have an approved booklet of information we need to know like every other professional exam in the country so much time wasted trying to figure it out......and then examiners complaining that students use unapproved course etc. Would save everyone so much time and stress! Such a load of nonsense!!.....rant over!

I failed it last time and I’m studying again and I just don’t know how to do it again I don’t know what I’m doing wrong!
