    That’s such a nuisance! Would expect them to be more accommodating as they’re getting so much money from us.

    With regard to bags would you think it best to leave with red cow storage or FE1 storage?

    I know so inconsiderate! I'm sure both are fine never used them and only knew about the red cow one but it would definitely be safer if you had your laptop or money to leave it in a friend's room or someone you know who is staying tomorrow night if you know anyone!

    Finding is short, they have only asked the same problem Q on someone finding something possibly buried. Once or twice an essay on Webb case but rare.

    Tort and Company didn't follow the usual trend but if you are stuck the below sounds like the best approach.

    You should have 4 and if the problem Q on finding doesnt come up hopefully you hve enough for an essay Q on it which fingers crossed be your 5.


    QUOTE=Sineaddh;109671825]Thanks so much! Do you think at this stage by best bet is adverse possession, succession, easements, finding and the land reg essay? Concerned about size of topics too so that’s why I’m thinking these[/QUOTE]

    I don't think the charge per hour for overstaying is that high. I think I read somewhere it is €10 per hour.

    Guys im confused with s62 burdens... how are they cracks if the land owner knows about them like if they have to be registerred?

    S.69 burdens compliment the mirror principle, they are registered and a purchaser will see them on the folio.

    S.72 burdens are the cracks in the mirror principle. They are overriding interests, they aren’t registered but are still binding on a purchaser. E.g. S.72(J) The right of every person in actual occupation who does not have a legal interest.

    However this problem is overcome by S.72 Decalarations which a landowner can sign to say there are no overriding interests on the property and a purchaser can rely on this.

    Did anyone else order the property acts for the exam and not get them? Ordered mine last week and they still haven't arrived :(

    Also, don’t want to worry anyone but Mortgages and Landlord and Tenant are expected up this time around, they didn’t come up last paper


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 110 ✭✭lisac223


    I asked at reception and they said you have to be out by 12 or your charged per hour, not sure how much though! So unfair tbh

    I just got a late check out there just go to reception and say you'd like to pay for a late check out, it's an extra hour and €10! Sound for peace of mind though otherwise I'd be fretting about where to keep my stuff!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 131 ✭✭JCormac


    Here's a case-list I made for Landlord & Tenant at some stage.

    Those are the cases in my manual. Forgot I even did it out.

    Personally, I'm not doing that topic, so I can't vouch for the cases themselves but hopefully it'll be of some use to someone.

    Trying to construct an essay to learn off for Easements. Find the Acquiring part very confusing. Feel free to give your two cents anyone:

    Acquiring:

    1)Express (in deed)
    2) Implied (section 40 in place now yes so I don't have to worry about old methods??)
    3) Prescription
    Common Law Prescription (time immortal)
    Lost Grant Pres
    Statutory Pres

    All above will be abolished by s.35 in 2021

    Number 3 is too confusing and a bit pointless to try and learn at this stage. Just a note to say 3 being abolished by s.35

    Any glaring misunderstanding in that feel free to let me know??? Number 2 correct? Would most problem Qs fit into an implied Easement?

    Hopefully Mr Wong needs to build his Chinese restraunt again in a problem Q! Otherwise my legal advice might have to be, give me a call in 2021.

    A short note on the above would be great :-)

    For 117 application in succession, how many cases on average are yous learning and to what detail? My manual literally has 8 pages of every single detail of the cases so hope thats not expected

    Can someone tell me if the question in criminal exam was murder or assault manslaughter for the attack by the 3 lads in the soccer team and also who was liable for the death of the women who ran across the road in the harassment question that had loads of offences.

    Also i checked out of the Redcow after an exam at like 12;50 before and they never said a word so id say its safe to check out late, there busy at that time a anyway so they just want to clear people out of reception.

    Chances of the Adverse Possession question tomorrow being Essay-based?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 287 ✭✭holliek


    What are people learning under freedom of expression? I've looked at press freedoms (mainly all EU cases) and a bit of commentary on art 10 of the convention. Anything else I need to look at?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 233 ✭✭jewels652


    Is there a kind soul willing to share questions and answers for Eu law ?? I have materials for other topics.

    What happened in Somers v weir?

    And what's the abbreviation again for the civil partnership and certain rights and obligations of cohabitants act 2010?

    Somers v Weir - the transaction was void because the plaintiff had constructive notice re the wife’s lack of consent. The plaintiff did not ask to see the separation agreement here.

    Abbreviation is CPCROC 2010.

    Good chance, I did a bit extra on dev of doctrine in Leigh & Jack. If he asks for reform think I'll have to focus on that and say because of the confusion and as suggested by the LRC after Durack they should make it clear in statute. There was a Q on reform in Oct 2015 but I dont really know what other reforms and bit late to be coming up with them now anyway.

    Guy, s. 30 help please.

    So A, B, C, D hold as Joint Tenants.
    D sells to E.
    E takes as tenant in common and A, B & C are still Joint tenants.
    S. 30 has nothing to say here, right?

    And if A, B,C, D hold as joint tenants and D sells to F for the use of himself.
    This would sever all Joint tenant relationships so this is void if he didn't get permission under s 30, right?

    And if A, B, C, D hold as Joint tenants
    A sells to B.
    What happens here?

    Confused

    First scenario - consent has to be given by all parties for conveyance.

    Second scenario - consent of all parties required before selling to F. If consent provided, F will be a TIC while the A, B, C will still be JTs in relation to each other.

    Same in third scenario as B was already a JT.

    If I’m wrong, please let me know.

    Sorry - the unities of title and time would be broken here so therefore cannot be a JT.

    I rang reception & they said it wasn't possible to extend it even an hour because they're all booked up tomorrow but might just leave my stuff here and see what happens!!

    I think the third scenario is a little off. If A,B and C are JT and A "releases" his interest to B extinguishing his interest, B takes A's section himself and remains as a JT with C over the other 2 thirds! Per Wylie I have here (if I'm reading right)

    You are correct. Trespassers bottom of the list for people with the best title. Mentioned in Parker, Waverly, Webb and possibly Peel.

    Just finished writing essays on the topics. Now to get it from the page into my brain.

    Personally I'd lay out both scenarios at the end of the question.

    Eg: If the court comes to the conclusion the item was found above the ground, X has the better title - Though if it was below the ground, Y has the better title.


    With regard to the trespassing bit, I'm not entirely sure tbh, but I'm under the impression that trespassers get nil. I'd look at Parker v British Airways holding. Think it might have been Obiter Dictum?

    Just a thought. Take my advice with a pinch of salt though; as I may be wrong on the trespassing bit

    Succession x2
    AP
    Easement
    Finding

    I would kill for this.


    I asked something similar a few weeks ago but just clarifying. I buy a house and it was never registered:

    1. I will send my conveyance to the Registry of Deeds for lodgment - first in time etc.
    2. I will get a first registration completed also as it is now compulsory.

    Is that true? Because both systems still exist?


    ----

    Because you can lodge a lot more things in the registry it's still relevant, not just conveyances so you still need it as well, I think that makes sense.

    Last property for the night I promise - people can answer it when up - For easements and right to support and protection, am I right in understanding from Todd v Cinelli and Latimer v Official Co-Op Society that they're more inclined to give the easement where it physically supports or is attached to the other vs. Phipps v Pear and Treacy v Dublin Corpn where it's just protection from the elements? Does that make sense?

    Right to protection from weather is an ancillary right stemming from right to support, it can’t exist on its own

    Does anyone know if essays come up on enhacement of SOP ? Or development in relation to separation of powers in the constitution? Any idea how you would even approach that question.. seems he doesn’t like when people just talk all about the non delegation doctrine ?
