What are people covering for Company? Don't have an up to date grid and trying to cut topics.

Constitution

Are ppl covering ART 38.1 trial in due course of law?
Massive topic which does not appear to come up too frequent. Is there particular sub topics one should def cover?

I’d recommend doing it - once you break it down it’s actually grand and really easy to understand and remember compared to other Constitutional topics!

Law1997 · 09-02-2020 08:01PM

Is it worth covering defences in tort law? Doesn’t seem to come up too often and I’d love to leave it out!

Not doing case note question anyways.
I am wondering what people are focusing on for the general principles and competition law as it seems guaranteed but a huge topic ?

Do the office of public works have copies of the Constitution? Anyone know how much they are or are selling any?

Advice for TORT???

Would really appreciate some guidance I don’t know where to begin!

leavingcert17 · 10-02-2020 01:22PM

Hi does anyone have advice on law society fees? I don’t qualify for any grants, do firms pay for fees usually and pay you a wage?

rightytighty · 10-02-2020 01:26PM

For tort I’m looking at

All of negligence
Trespass/Nuisance/Rylands
Vicarious Liability
Defective Products
Damages
Occupiers Liability
Professional Neg
Passing Off
Limitation of Actions

Defamation was on the last two papers, and Employers liability on the last as far as I can make out, does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Criminal - Sexual offences

Hey can anyone help/clarify the following for me?

The MR requirement for rape is subjective, i.e. the accused honestly believed the women was consenting so therefore lacks the requisite MR for rape.

But in the case of “consensual” intercourse by an adult with someone under the age of 15 this is an offence under section 2/section 16 of the 2006/2017 Acts and the test is whether they were reasonably mistaken as to the age of the child (on the balance of probabilities)? And consent is not a defence so is this also rape under section 4 of the 1981 Act?

The bigger firms usually do, with the smaller firms it depends. Often you might pay the fees and they pay you a wage. Do ask about paying the fees through the firm and reimbursing them if they're unwilling to foot the bill. The reason to do this is that firms can claim tax credits on the fees so the total amount isn't as much.

Law1997 · 10-02-2020 02:36PM

Hi guys I’m really confused by constitutional law. I’m learnig the topics but am finding it so difficult to apply the correct ones to the exam questions. Anyone have any advice on this? Thanks :-(

Would also really like some help on this - the topics are mostly okay but it seems really hard to identify the issues in the problem questions.

Does anyone have Constitutional notes for Judicial Review and/or Fair Procedures?

Can swap for any other notes or (fairly) recent exam papers or grids or anything just seriously struggling with these two topics and would owe you forever :eek:

law405 · 10-02-2020 09:26PM

Any chance anyone has an up to date equity grid and maybe some predictions for tort? do we think defamation could come up again after being up so many times? also professional negligence has been up twice in a row according to my grid..

I’m not doing Defamation, surely can’t come up again. Do you have a grid that includes October 2019?

law405 · 10-02-2020 09:56PM

Yes have tort grid but no equity grid!

user115 · 10-02-2020 10:04PM

Equity

For injunctions do people think it's safe enough to focus on Mareva, know little on Anton Pillar, then focus on Mandatory Interloc Injunctions? I had a look through exam papers til 2016/2015 and they are they only ones that seem to have come up. If I have overlooked some questions please let me know

rightytighty · 11-02-2020 12:20AM

How far along the process are people? Is anyone learning off yet or generally still making notes?

I'm far from learning off, I moved on from Constitutional to Equity cause it was taking me way too long, must go back to Constitutional and do about 4 more topics. I'm really hoping Equity isn't too bad, seems alright so far. I only start learning off the week before the exam, has worked for me so far so hoping everything goes to plan. These are my last 2 so I'm really hoping I see the end of them at this sitting.

How are you set? When do you normally start learning off?

sm333 · 11-02-2020 10:38AM

How long did it take people to hear back about getting passes carried forward under the new regulations? Emailed the form on Thursday but feeling more antsy the longer I ignore that subject (equity), just in case I have to sit it after all.

Ok that’s reassuring, I’m turning to my last 2 subjects now (EU and Tort) to try and learn them for 2 weeks and then I’ll start with Company and Criminal

I just got a reply a few minutes ago and my exemption has been granted!!

Would definitely email/call them to follow up as I only submitted my request last Thursday.

Also for anyone still wondering about timelines for responses mine took 4 working days (Thurs-Tues)

Thank you SO much to the people that posted about this here as I would have never found out otherwise and would have unnecessarily sat an extra exam

Unsure on this myself, as Mandatory Interloc Injunctions came up last time around im thinking about just going with Mareva and APO, but i'm unclear if you need to cover everything in order to be able to answer those topics fully. Any guidence from someone who's been through it would be great.

Law1997 · 11-02-2020 07:29PM

Fellow at home studiers/sufferers -

How are you structuring your day? So far I’ve been ‘cramming’ in the mornings, looking at a second topic in the afternoon and doing a few papers in between. I’m fed up by the evening.

Any advice?

Breacnua · 11-02-2020 08:04PM

define cramming, as in u have ur notes finished?
