What are people thinking for Contract?

Louis Litt

Constitutional

Are people sticking to the manuals or looking at Articles/Books?

The essay Qs can be very subjective and are looking for an angle on the Q that the manuals don't give you.

Did someone say they had an essay prepared on the LCRA 2009 & changes that they would be willing to share?

I'm reading the exam report from October 2019 and it says that it was one of the least answered questions and the answers were for the most part weak so it potentially might be worth having the bones of an essay for the exam or would it be too soon?

What are the 'trilogy of NAMA cases' that my revision guide is referring to?

I am using a 2018 manual from a different College and cant find them in it.

If anyone has any notes on them I would greatly appreciate them, as Property Rights is tipped to come up this sitting!

Hey, can anyone clarify for me please, I have two sources, both telling me different things

requirements for a valid will and witnessing. Does the testator have to sign in front of the witnesses? do they witnesses have to sign in the presence of each other at the same time?

I know there's previous questions where a witness looks away when the testator is signing or someone blocks their view etc

From memory the witness is there to witness the testators signature I think that is the entire extent of their function. Not sure if they have to sign in presence of each other, not sure that would be that important. I can't remember valid requirements for will sorry!! Has been over a year since looked at any that

Not entirely the same but I remember an invigilator before one of my exams in October very definitely saying that exams would go ahead in spite of any weather warnings for the following day

Imagine would be great!! Like if there was major panic in the next week and a number of cases were confirmed in Republic then maybe like could they really justify risking the health of people for exams???! They would look terrible for going ahead with them....Lol

In fairness though if they are gonna cancel paddys day parade and the Irl and Italy game I'd say it could happen if let's say the Dept Health highlighted the concern....would be an extreme long shot though, they would prob lose money with booking hotel and might not be available again for ages so prob not.

Guys I'm stressed too but we can't be wishing coronavirus on people haha

I would say there is no chance of them calling it off anyway. Big difference between FE1 exams and the rugby or paddys parade, people travelling from infected countries etc, whereas FE1s don't have that factor

Anyone got a sample answer on the Attorney General for Constitutional? My manual really doesn't have much on it so would really appreciate it and can send over any exam reports or papers!

The testator has to sign in front of both witnesses at the same time (the witnesses are attesting his signature), but the witnesses do not have to attest each other's signatures, they only have to sign in the presence of the testator. Common practice though is that they all sign at the same time.

You can highlight and also underline full words or sentences

I used the Kelly and Oran Doyle books and tried to get a bit of comment from relevant articles. It is tough to get a full essay on some of the more specific essay questions.

This is brilliant, thank you! Does anyone think there is a high likelihood of two of these 2019 cases being asked for the case note question?

Equity

I'm finished equity and think I am happy enough with what I am covering, I think I'm just leaving out constructive trusts and resulting, my list:

- All injunctions
- Rescission
- Undue influence
- Trusteeship
- Secret trusts
- 3 certainties
- Charitable trusts
- Cy pres
- Prop Estoppel
- SP
-DMC
-Rule in Strong v Bird
- Satisfaction

If I have time I might skim over rectification.

Do you think I would be covered with this?

I'm thinking of just covering:
Injunctions (all)
Charitable Trusts
Trusteeship
Estoppel
Recission
Specific Performance
Rectification
3 Certainties

and then if I have time:
Strong v Bird
Presumed Resulting Trust
DMC

What are peoples thoughts on this? Has anyone heard of any predictions beyond the expectation of Injunctions?

You would think it would be enough but equity is unpredictable!
