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!

I know. I just don’t know because some days I can study all day, and others I can’t. Like today! I’m also stuck on a lot of exam questions and just an awful worrier in general. Can’t wait for all this to be over.

For Equity I'm covering Mareva inj, specific performance, undue influence, estoppel, charitable trusts, cy-pres, trusteeship, three certainties, strong v bird and DMC. Is there anything else I should look at or will I be okay?

I’m trying to work out the spine or back bone chapters for equity and work from there but I’m not sure what they are tbh.
I know charitable trusts and PE are asked a lot but finding it hard to set down the key areas and know rest fairly well. I don’t think it’s a paper where corners can be cut but I think it’s better to focus really well on some areas that’s popular.
I need a coffee...

Yeah, doesn't seem like too many corners can be cut.
Looks like generally:
1 Q from Resulting trusts,
1 Q from Injunctions,
1-2 Qs from remedies
1-2 Qs from three certainties, Strong v Bird, DMC Secret/purpose trusts
prob pick up the case note Q within them too.

Hi, haven't covered examinership or recivership yet in Company - would it be crazy to leave them both out??

Also if anyone has company notes on these would be appreciated and can swap for other notes in every subject!!!

I left out examinership because it had come up in the sitting before me. I did receivership, which didn’t come up as a full q for me but came
Up as part of one. I’d recommend having a look and trying to see if you can find a pattern and then just winging it. You should be covered with your other topics without them.

Can someone please please please email me an up to date Criminal grid? ðŸ€žðŸ€ž

neamhsplach · 14-02-2020 12:06PM

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?

Ya I think so, I suppose it is mainly caselaw cause I think the only way constitutional law can develop is by a case being brought up until that point all legislation is presumed constitutional until proven otherwise. Some of the case law sets out principles that are applied going forward on constitutional challenges. But ya your right it's mainly case heavy

saphiradragon · 14-02-2020 02:17PM

Does anyone have a company grid? I can swap for EU, Const, Contract, Property?!

Dancing Obsession · 14-02-2020 06:21PM

Hi guys,
I m looking for Constitutional sample answers. I have notes for Contracts, Tort, Constitutional and Company if anyone wants to swap. I also have some other materials.
Thanks

LawBoy2018 · 14-02-2020 06:37PM

Does anyone have the company law revision guide from any of any of the revision courses? I can swap for any of the others. Thanks!!

I'm looking at the case note question for Constitutional and it genuinely doesn't seem nearly as bad as the EU one - is it the same where you're kind of advised not to do it? Like should I have tons of details about it or is it really just a brief summary? Struggling to find many things I can answer in constitutional so this would be a helpful one to have

CDarrall · 15-02-2020 12:33PM

Would anyone have a sample essay on the main changes brought about by the 2014 Act for Company? Can swap for grids etc. Thanks a million

tommyq94 · 15-02-2020 02:57PM

Is anyone else having a hard time identifying the subject/area the problem questions are addressing?

I think this will be the first FE1 exam that I plan on focusing on essays + note questions, as I honestly can't tell what a lot of the problem questions are asking...

Same here! I haven't found anyone who isn't struggling with that though so at least we're not alone haha

I think a summary of the facts, the majority’s opinion, the dissenting opinions, and principle finding would suffice.

Anyone who has passed tort have any advice on how to approach it?

I’m going with

Negligence (all of it basically)
Trespass to Person
Trespass to Land/Nuisance/Rylands
Vicarious Liability
Defective Products
Damages
Occupiers Liability
Professional Negligence
Passing Off
Limitation of Actions
Liability for Animals/Fire

Basically the same minus Limitation of Actions & Damages.

Am doing Employer Liability & Nervous Shock though.

Re. the Defamation query in your other post - According to my grid Defamation has come up the last four sittings.

I was originally doing it myself but now quite unsure if it's a waste of time at this stage because of the above. Besides, I imagine if it did come up, it would come up essay style

iamanengine · 16-02-2020 07:11PM

Is there a list of cases that could up in the case note question or anything like that?

Or do you need to look through all past papers to get an idea?

I don't know if there's a list but from what I can tell it seems to be a mixture of old and new cases - for instance in Q4 Oct 2019 the cases were McCrystal (2012), C v Min for Social Protection (2018), Campaign to Separate Church and State v Min for Education (1998) and Meskell v CIE (1973). He doesn't seem to put up cases that are insignificant but it is by no means confined to just old cases or just recent ones anyway.

Company

Is it safe to leave out Disqualification orders for directors? I’ve covered restriction orders

Law1997 · 16-02-2020 09:21PM

Id learn a few cases on it - can be handy to throw in at the end of a restriction q

luimneachabu73 · 16-02-2020 09:32PM

Any changes to Criminal Acts in the last few years to be aware of?

Yeah I just hope they’re not making it a recurring question now haha, but I’m set on not doing it and my mind is made up so ðŸ€·ðŸ»*♂️

Would anyone have an up to date Contract Grid? Can swap for sample answers

Thanks!

iamanengine · 17-02-2020 02:25PM

Is it fair to say that the Case Note answer will generally be much short than an essay or problem Q answer?

DFMCD190384 · 17-02-2020 03:06PM

In relation to Contract Terms. Are you guys covering the whole topic or sections of it e.g. express/implied/Parol Evidence Rule?
