Hey, I've confused myself again. Laurentiu they said s5 was out of the question and outside the principles and policies test. A couple years later was leontjava and the order there was made pursuant to s5 and they ruled on it again and said the order was UV. How was it still in consideration? Was it not dead and gone?

hit the nail on the head, I decided to glaze over the blatant confusion and just learn it but I really don’t know because it said they struck it down in Larentiu... who knows. Maybe they just severed the sub section of s5 that dealt with the deportation orders.. hopefully haha

Doing contract next week and I had planned to borrow my friends consumer legislation but they said they can't find it! Would anyone be in a position that i could buy it off on Tuesday afternoon/Wednesday in the red cow?

If not, would I be screwed if I don't bother doing consumer protection?

It’s only like €3 from the OPW and they ship it the next day! They did for me anyway

I'm so glad I'm not going mad. I was reading over it again and again thinking to myself "S5......S5.....but wait, that's the same number!", ugh brain really is melting at this stage and Constitutional is an awful way to cap off 3 days with the size of it! Oh well though, lets hope he's kinder than last paper!

Something which I don't understand with the EU paper - Competition Law seems to be a massive topic, there's 60+ pages on in it my manual. But it seems to not be a guaranteed topic on the exam? Is the examiner just not a fan of competition law, or does my manual just place an unnecessary emphasis on it?

It comes up majority of the time , sometimes with say state aid or mergers
It’s come up like 12/15 last papers it says on the city college revision notes I have . I’ve covered because I find the first two essay qu can sometimes be tricky so want to be covered . I’ve also got it condensed to 8/9 pages ðŸ˜‚

Does anyone have a sample answer for the misrep question that came up on the contract paper last year? Thinking she might repeat that again because she was so unhappy with it!

What was the essay title?

It was question 5

In an action for misrepresentation (which has induced the misrepresentee to enter into a contract) is a Defence to say that the party who is seeking to rely on misrepresentation did not do their due diligence or make any effort to discover the truth?

And

How might a business rely on express contract terms so as to try protect itself against liability for misrepresentation?

Misrep is more or less one of the only things Ive left out cos there’s just so much material!! But I want to have an essay on this written up..

Could someone please briefly explain supervening impossibility with regard to the Doctrine of Cy-Pres?

With supervening impossibility you don’t need to show general charitable intention where the charity seized to exist after the gift was made effective.

Where as initial impossibility- if impossible to apply the date the gift became effective (donor’s death)- you must then show General charitable intention

Hi all, if anybody has an up to date equity exam grid, or a last minute equity revision guide, I would really appreciate it. Cheers

Tommybojangles · 15-03-2019 02:29PM

I know post mortems are frowned upon but can anyone give a run down of what was expected on the Mallack v.Minister for justice question on constitutional? All I could do was quote Tierney v an post before and Kelly V Garda commissioner since but it what is the evidence of the 'watering-down' the question asked about?

Well I argued against the watering-down personally. Didn't have your two cases unfortunately (poor memory) but mentioned McEnery, and a new Conolly v An Bord Plenala one from 2018. I just took a stance on 'reasons are still required, don't think they've been watered' as part of the fair procedures. I might be totally wrong though.

On that note, I hope this was the last fe-1 exam for me! But with that Tort on monday, I'm not sure

Cheers! Ya I totally disagreed with it off the back of Kelly. Assume there must be some contrary evidence though!

What came up in Constitutional? I'm unsure myself?

xBell123 · 15-03-2019 05:31PM

What are peoples thoughts on leaving out institutions for EU? I cannot get my head around it and its massive.

GF612 · 15-03-2019 06:33PM

I'm thinking of including Institutions, actually doing notes on it right now - but it's a mess!

Would also be interested if anyone is leaving this out / what people are thinking of leaving out for EU. The course is too big to get everything covered!

A question on the institutions has not been on the paper since October 2017, so it could be due a run and looking at the questions in the exam papers it seems to be a rather nice question. Article 17 TEU onwards might be helpful in that it outlines the powers and functions of the institutions and the TFEU also sets out further powers and the QMV process- so that may help reduce what you need to know, that's how I have cut out so much from it. Most of the questions, which I have looked at, seem to focus on Lisbon changes or the legislative power of that body- so just knowing Pre-Lisbon might being helpful. But again, I've only looked at a few questions on it.
