    In relation to problem questions, I'm having difficulties regarding when to use Murder / Manslaughter / Assault / Endangerment.

    If the facts state someone has died, I'm guessing you always discuss Murder and Manslaughter (I could be wrong here). And even if they don't die, but death was intended, murder is still discussed. Manslaughter can only be discussed if someone dies, I feel.

    Re Assault my take is if they don't die, this is when you talk about this?

    And re Endangerment, I really don't know. I know you'd use it if the facts show someone has done something idiotic such as throw an item from a bridge that strikes a vehicle, but that's about it.

    Could anyone shine light on when is the right time to use these? Thanks.

    You wouldn't necessarily need to always discuss murder. When you're looking at a problem question, try and see what it is telling you about the mens rea of the crime. For murder, there has to be intention. If that is not there then it is a manslaughter conviction. You then need to look at what type of manslaughter - voluntary or involuntary.

    E.g. problem q about the guy who was assaulted on his way home, went home and then headed back out to find his friends but took a knife with him to protect them. He encounters the people who assaulted him and they assault him again, he goes after them with the knife and kills one of them. For this, I think you would discuss murder and also manslaughter.

    In the advise the DPP type qs, the one about the girl being killed when the funfair ride broke, this would be gross negligence manslaughter so there would be no need to discuss murder.

    In the context of a murder, you can mention assault if it is present as part of the defendant's actions.

    Endangerment is pretty much as you've described from what I can see.

    I'm open to correction on the above, though.

    What are people doing for contract?
    Finding it huge and overwhelming
    Maybe I’m overthinking

    I think if you don’t do that, then definitely do mortgages. I’m doing land lord and tenant tho - my brain cannot handle mortgages

    I feel the same.

    Offer & Acceptance
    Consideration & estoppel
    Ex clauses and fundamental breach
    EU consumer law
    Damages
    Misrepresentation and insurance contracts
    Mistake
    Capacity
    Frustration



    For me, I find Offer, Acceptance and Considerstion the toughest.
    Any hints on what to really look at on these would be great.

    Would I be correct in saying that the EU examiner changed in 2015? Did the subjects which appaear change drastically as a result?

    I have some stuff up as far as 2015 but questioning its usefulness now!!

    Yes, as far as I know the intern and extern switched places? Either way for purposes of predictability I wouldn't look back further than 2015 - if you read through the 2016-2019 papers and compare them to the ones before that you'll notice a big difference in what topics are asked etc.

    Ok if anyone can shed a bit of advice on this I’d be so grateful.

    I have all my notes typed and printed, and have been learning for about a week - slowly. I’m so worried that I don’t have enough time to learn all in time for the exams.

    My first exam is Constitutional on the 6th. That’s tomorrow 3 weeks. Help

    You are in a very good position and have loads of time between now and the exam to learn the material.

    Does anyone have any predictions for Company? Pass rate was pretty bad for Spring 2019 but seems to have been more or less fine other than that in the past few years - there are definitely some easy and some hard questions that keep reappearing though so would appreciate some advice!

    With tort.. when people say “all of negligence” what exactly does that include? I have causation,duty of care and standard of care..

    Is hedley Byrne/negligent misstatement to be included too?

    What about professional negligence and pure economic loss?

    I’m struggling to link topics and know what to focus on/ where to start or end ;(

    Do you think it would be applicable to use criminal negligence manslaughter cases in an omissions liability question?

    Thanks.

    Would anyone be willing to swap any of the revision course study manuals? As in the shortened versions that they release towards the end of the course? I will swap any for company. Thanks!

    Obviously it depends on the person, but how is that in any way a bad position to be in? I know people who have sat and passed the 8 exams in one sitting, while working full time. For the last sitting, I was literally writing essays the morning of the exams and passed. You'll be fine!

    For anyone studying Constitution, I have noticed that my study notes consist mainly of case law notes, and don't contain as many legal principles/tests as my notes did for any other FE1 subject i've done.

    Does this make sense since it is more of a historically driven area, or am i way off the mark?
