Constitutional Question

My manual is kind of confusing when I'm comparing with my grid. What chapter is fair procedures? Is it part of due process or is it unspecified rights? My grid says it comes up alot but it seems to be under both due process and unspecified rights in manual. Be grateful if anyone can explain which one comes up frequently, thanks!

I was confused about this as well but I think I figured it out. Fair Procedure seems to be interchangeable with Natural Justice so it might be down as that.

In the Independent Manual it's the last section in Personal Rights.

Hi,

Was anyone at the UCD constitutional law update session and want to share what cases they discussed? I wasn't able to make it so it would really help me out. Happy to swap material if you want to trade stuff for it

Also interested in this as I also wasn't able to make it!

Constitutional

Anyone who sat the October '19 Constitutional paper and passed Question 1 (Re: Diesel Fuels Ltd), could you please explain the topics it considered? I answered it including the issue of the Agency having the same protections as the Oireachtas per Kerins (2019), then questioned was it acting ultra vires its powers using the non-delegation doctrine, the issue of s.8 being a criminal offence encroaching on judicial territory and distinguishing executive and judicial powers per McCrystal and when court will intervene in extreme circumstances. Then considered right to a good name for the "name and shame". Then considered due process Art.38.1 as the Agency initiated criminal prosecution and said it breached SOP. And ended with considering whether or not it was a criminal matter per Mathghamhna and if it was its for the courts and not the agency so said Diesel Fuels would likely be successful because of that. I failed the question miserably and still don't understand what I should have mentioned. Any help would be much much appreciated.

Hi all

What are people covering for tort? I have a grid but find it quite difficult to pick out topics to study...
Would really appreciate some advice! Thanks

maewest19 · 29-01-2020 02:59PM

Hey

I'm looking for an up to date tort grid. I have an up to date criminal and company to swap, or slightly outdated EU grid, from October 2019. I can also offer the EU paper from 2019.

jewels652 · 29-01-2020 07:57PM

Anybody willing to share the constitutional law paper from October 2019 please ?
I have no clue as to what came up.

Tia

milktray22 · 29-01-2020 10:00PM

Does anybody have answers for EU, Contract and Property?

I have notes and grids for EU, Contract, Property Tort, constitutional, company, criminal and equity.

Thanks

Criminal Law question

With the defence of intoxication, from my understanding it cannot be used as a defence for crimes of 'basic intent' ie those crimes where the mens rea requirement will be satisfied by proving recklessness.

My confusion arises because as I understand it the law in Ireland on recklessness is that it is a subjective test, ie the accused must have foreseen the risk but carried on regardless.

Can anyone explain why intoxication cannot be used to establish the accused was not subjectively reckless? I understand why intixication would not be a defence to objective recklessness, but the subjective element is confusing me.

I hope that all makes sense. Thanks in advance

I am currently doing constitution for the first time. My understanding of the question is its just the delegation of legislation and the principle and policy test set out in Pigs Marketing, Cityview Press v Anco, Harvey v Min for Social Welfare, McDaid and some of the more recent cases John Fried Chicken and Bederev. McKerins is only relevent to internal matters of the Oireachtas in relation to privilege and McCrystal relates to referenda.

Just got the email from the Law Society about carrying forward passes from before the rules changed for this sitting. If they’ve accepted some already as I’ve read they have, you’d wonder on what basis they can then refuse applications?

milktray22 · 01-02-2020 11:54AM

Hi all, does anyone have sample answers for Contract and Property? .
Can swap notes, grids and papers for Constitutional, EU, Tort, Criminal, Company and Equity thanks!

Blue_pens17 · 01-02-2020 01:17PM

Hey, does anyone know what the pass rate is like for Constitutional? Doesn't appear in the exam reports...

Look up the Peart report, but from what I remember approximately 70%

I haven't heard of anyone who was refused once they applied for the exemption. Maybe someone else could confirm if they had a request to carry over refused. I have not heard of one yet. I know people who carried just one pass, and some who have carried from March 2018 sitting.

Yeah I think they might just be trying to make it sound less of a formality, fingers crossed anyway - I wasn’t going to bother trying until they emailed

Does anyone in Galway have a copy of the companies act I could borrow for the exams?

Lcork23 · 02-02-2020 11:32PM

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know what came up in property October 2019? Also, would anyone have any tips out what you could possibly leave out topic wise?

user115 · 02-02-2020 11:53PM

If anyone could pass on just the outline of the UCD Constitutional update I would really really appreciate it! Really struggling with trying to cut down topics

Thanks

In an ABSOLUTE panic. Realised I missed the deadline to submit my application... will they still accept it? Has anyone applied late? All advice welcome

Wouldn’t panic to be honest. I know people who have applied over 2 weeks late and got sorted. Just get in touch with the Law Society and they’ll get you in.

Yes they will accept a late application.

Hi all

On my (HOPEFULLY) last sitting and worried about topics for Constitutional as I really need to pass this round. Would I be save with;

SOP, Interpretation, property rights, equality, family, JR + Unconstitutionally, amending Constitution, freedom of expression/assembly/expression, President/AG.

Obviously you can never be certain but is this along the lines of what people are covering?

Thanks!!

I have something similar covered but would look at fair procedures too!

I only answered succession (very well) 2qs on it, adverse possession, easements and co ownership, plus had learned finding and licenses and family home, easiest exam I have done, succession is nearly guaranteed 2 questions and adverse possession is another guaranteed so you have 3 questions basically going in.

Hi, does anyone have any predictions for Contract and Equity?
