Any hope in hell of a pass in constitution with only 4 answers? I only knew 4 even though I covered 26 topics. Feel like I just wasted the last 3 months of my life

You could pass with 4 strong answers, I'm sure it came across in your answers that you did alot of work and I think that is mainly what they want a broad knowledge. Its disheartening if you feel it didn't go your way after spending all that time but like you won't know til you get results and worst case scenario you see what can improve. They are extremely demanding exams and even with the best efforts things can not go your way but sure wait and see and you might have passed it

Hey nmurphy, Just regarding SP, did it not come up as Q5 last sitting? i dont have paper but thats what my grid says? is it SP and the defence of misrep that is frequent?

I didn’t do it so I’d say!!!!

I remember doing an estoppel problem

Just noticed a mistake in the Constitutional paper

Q2 refers to Leontjava v Minister for Justice, but this is a mix up of Laurentiu v Minster for Justice and Leontjava and Chang v DPP

So in my answer I referred to Leontjava v Minister for Justice and Laurentiu and Chang v DPP :rolleyes:

I'll hardly be docked marks for that?

Non eat factum was in one of the questions I think it was the one claimed as misrep! Because I did it

There was a second part to that question too if I remember right.... auction “without reserve”

LawStudent1234 wrote: »

I don’t think so..

In that question I also talked about other cases of principles and policies was this relevant or will I loose marks for not sticking to the question?

You will be fine, I mentioned other cases too

No way?? I was thinking I couldn't remember what that case was but had Laurentiu in my answer so hopefully that's enough

Can anyone explain Q8 Constitutional!? I went with standing as her rights were in imminent danger of being adversely affected!??

I pretty much winged that one using Buckley v AG. Massively winged it again by saying it was an incursion into judicial function by capping the amounts, similar to mandatory minimums and sentencing guidelines contrasting Ellis. Retrospective effect not allowed etc. Said she had a right to an effective remedy and this could impinge on that. Think I died a slow death on that one.
Never thought of standing tbh.

For anyone doing Equity, the City Colleges night before notes are top quality. They only cover 4 topics though

I went with the Buckley route as well. Also shoehorned in a bit about the cap potentially affecting her right to access courts (though I think that’s a stretch). I was afraid to leave it out though.

Any really important 2018/2019 cases for Company/Equity?

I more or less said the same, hopefully should be fine

Thanks for that. I doubt I did 4 strong I was panicking when I knew I didnt have 5 questions so started badly. I had a load of spelling mistakes as well from being so frazzled. I could have answered the locus standi one but just didnt see it. Trying to get back into study now is very difficult

Just wondering if equity is a tough marker?

So much to know and I'm worried that I won't be able to retain it all.

Anyone else feeling like this?

I thought he/she was.... I got 51 on the last sitting and only got 4 questions although I felt I answered the 4 very well!

I’m terrified thinking about it! Any predictions whatsoever would be a great help!

For the constitutional paper did anyone answer question 7 open justice? I wrote about FOE privacy rights of the press etc as the case was about defamation suits being held in public but I’m not sure if I went down the wrong track and I’m over thinking now!!

Don't start dissecting the exam too much. Post mortems of the exam rarely helpful. Didn't do that question so don't know. Would suggest focus on the next mountain. Am sure you did ok though, so don't sweat it.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. He's supposed to be quite a generous marker so I'm sure you'll pick up marks along the way!

Rights of the press is definitely part of it so I'm sure you did fine

I didn’t focus on any of that. Just the admin of justice in public cases. With a lot of gilchrist but comparing it to the cases before and med council

I didn't recognise locus stand either and had good answer prepped, kinda thought exam was awful when first opened page but then calmed down a bit once I actually read and thought about it.

I'm a terrible speller and I have seen in exam reports that they give out about my writing and still pass. They really don't mark down for small mistake and nitty gritty things. Once you get your point across and apply it that is really the substance of it. I remember a lecturer in college said you are not studying to be a secretary and have tidy handwriting and be neat you are studying to know the law, once you know it and can apply it that's all that matters. No examiner marks down for spelling and that.

I have so much to do for equity but gonna take a break for while and get stuck into it later, good luck hope the rest of them go well for you and don't let that knock you, it was just one.
