    It used to be like that.

    The FE-1s are used to slow the rate of people qualifying.

    It’s actually cause of some Northern Ireland idiot that the FE1 are mandatory ugh

    And they have the same exam for barristers and solicitors. Their degree classification is taken into account. It's tick the box on criminal, land and tort, and then a maths test! :rolleyes:

    Does anyone have notes or sample answers on registration of charges in the context of corp borrwing?
    Just realised that it comes up as much as fixed charges with regard to its reform in the new Act.

    I don't think I'm going to get these three. Bridge too far.

    Anyone know the pass rates for contract and equity?
    Company is around the 65% mark usually.

    What impact does repeal of the 8th have on intentional destruction of unborn human life for criminal? The cases in my manual all revolve around the 8th amendment so not sure what I would talk about now it's repealed...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 193 ✭✭TCPIP


    I would imagine in instances where its not carried out within a medical procedure? An easy problem scenario is a drunken boyfriend angry at girlfriend for pregnancy, stabs pregnant girlfriend; she lives, foetus dies. Advise drunken boyfriend. So that'd be a question on defences, etc...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 294 ✭✭Vegetarian2017


    Some people do some don't. Probably better to do them if u haven't studied law before. I didn't do them nor did many i know. More a case of having the finances to be honest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 294 ✭✭Vegetarian2017

    I've passed 5 and I just bought materials. I couldn't afford prep courses. All my materials are second hand from donedeal.

    Does anyone have recent sample answers (2014/2015/2016) for company? Could swap for tort and constitutional sample answers?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42 Fuguestate


    For Tort, so far I'm going in with:

    Negligence
    Ryands v Fletcher
    Nuisance
    Trespass to Land
    Trespass to Person
    Vicarious Liability
    Occupier's Liability
    Passing Off
    Defamation
    Negligent Misstatement.

    What else should I include?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33 Heart Shaped Box


    Could anyone weigh in on whether this is enough for Company??


    - Types of companies
    - Formation & registration
    - Consequences of incorporation
    - Company constitution
    - SLP
    - Corporate authority/ultra vires
    - Shares & Membership
    - Share Transfer
    - Shareholder Remedies
    - Director's duties (including duties on insolvency)
    - Restriction & disqualification
    - Legislative control of transactions
    - Receivership
    - Winding up


    I know it's bad to leave out capital maintenance/registration of charges/debentures given that they come up so regularly but I just can't get my head around them at all and have given up..
    Should i replace throw in another topic to replace it? Examinership or meetings or something?

    Thanks :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 193 ✭✭TCPIP


    That's fairly comprehensive. I've gone with:

    Company types;
    Incorporation/The Veil
    Authority
    Director's Duties
    Restriction/Disqualification
    SAP
    Liquidation
    Charges.

    Anyone think its safe enough to leave out exclusion clauses in contract?

    I wouldn't have thought so. It's been on every paper for the past 4 years bar 2 sittings.

    My list is very similar, except I'm not doing Defamation and am doing Medical Negligence and Liability for Animals.

    Likewise, only I'm throwing in concurrent wrongdoers also. It was on the October 17 paper, but the examiner noted how it was quite unpopular so it wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility if it appeared again

    How confident are you on having 5 topics come up? I feel like I'm covering loads but still pretty worried about leaving the likes of Defamation and Damages out...though surely they are due a break.

    I'm doing damages just in case - it's appeared on nearly every paper recently.

    Reasonably confident. As an earlier poster pointed out, VL and OL have both seen developments in the past 18 months and so combined with being due anyway, you would have to imagine are good bets to come up. You have to go back to 2013 for a land based Tort not to come up in a calendar year, you can pretty much always be guaranteed a Q on negligence in some shape or form, trespass to the person has come up every year since 2012 (maybe longer, but my grid doesn't go back any further), while the likes of passing off, liability for animals and fire, and medical negligence are also well overdue.

    In short, I think we would need to be completely and utterly shafted not to see 5 Qs on the paper.

    Does anyone know when we might actually get the results of this round actually?

    Would anyone have a case to back "mutual exchange of promises can constitute consideration" - in contract? Thank you.
