Anyone on here attempt Q8 on the criminal paper?

Scared me too much to even touch it! I was woefully under prepared on the later Thefts and frauds acts Looking at it now I'd have said

a) Handling and Possession of stolen property - Theft and Fraud Act
b) Forgery and using false instrument - Theft and fraud
c) Contempt of court
d) Harassment - NFOAP (Maybe incitement against her too)

I didn’t even think of handling and possession of stolen propert!!!!!! Disaster!!! I put down guilty as an accessory to theft!!! Really annoyed with that!

Had that for part (b) along with False accounting

Had contempt in the face of the court too along with scandalising the court

Put down harassment and assault for (d) along with a public order offence

Much easier afterwards with statutes in hand

Accessory to theft is definitely a consideration for the a) Evidence claims to have not been part of it - Would still have to prove no part in it.

and assault is a good one to include in d) - R v Ireland - Silent phone calls can amount to an assault, with psychiatric injury being the harm.

You've got a well rounded answer there in my opinion!

Could it be an example of transfered mens rea too?

I was thinking that too but it would be quite technical because the aim would have to be the same i.e. murdering himself and murdering her. But I think the law considers suicide and murder distinct so it wouldn't amount to transferred mens rea. You can always argue that it isn't though... but if it wasn't you wouldn't really be advising him of that.

Okay, I'm only getting a chance to look at Constitutional now. What topics should I prioritise? Aiming for quality over quantity here.

Re d) Only reason I'm thinking incitement potentially is - Applin v Race Relations Board - Where they distributed flyers and letters/emails trying to stop a family adopting a black child.

The distribution of insulting flyers I put down as S7 Public Order Act 1994

Oireachtas - Internal rules, Locus Standi, Family, Fair Procedures, Liberty, President/AG, Interpretation

These seem to be the ones most are predicting/banking on

Hi all,

Looking for a sample answer for Company October 2017, Qs 3;

"The introduction of the Summary Approval Procedure contained in Chapter 7 of Part 4 of the CA2014 has resulted in a unified approach provided that certain safeguards are met. The key safeguards are that the members of the company must resolve in favour of the compnay engaging in the activity and that the directors must make a declaration of solvency.

You are required to discuss this statement having particular regard to the rationale of the two safeguards referred to in the statement. In your answer you must cite all relevant case and statute law."

I'd really appreciate any steer on this!

Yeah, I was annoyed with myself because I wasn't entirely sure which topic of law part (a) was and my presumption of innocence answer was perfect. Was also annoyed by the Special Criminal Court coming up with the Circuit Court -- I had learned off his exam report on the SCC only. An exam of what could have beens.



Brilliant, thanks iamanengine! Is that what you are banking on yourself?

I was in the same boat.... I had the SCC down to a tee but nothing for the first part!!!

No worries! Yeah pretty much, they are the ones I hope to know well.

Other ones I am covering but maybe won't know as well are property/livelihood, equality, referendums, freedom of expression, international relations, non-delegation

Alright, I'm going to try my best to follow your lead before I inevitably fall asleep (was up very late last night cramming for criminal) so thanks again!

What are people banking on coming up for contract law?

I was hoping someone was going to ask that!!!! It’s my next one too so hoping to get a good bit covered!

I think mistake is due a run. Consumer protection is a definite, maybe 2 questions. Exclusion clauses, penalty clauses, misrep....

That’s only a small part of the question so I wouldn’t worry about it! There was a lot going on in it!

EQUITY

Anybody banking on certain topics? Can be for literally no reason, I'm all ears.

Constitutional

There was a question I read in past exams few days ago where it mentioned that this would be plaintiff was earning very little and a particular law required he have a certain amount of money for costs, what does that relate to? I imagine it's access to justice but I haven't covered it, what part of constit is it and what would I say briefly on it?
