Yes but gotta keep going! Take regulars breaks, lots of tea and snacks. They’re worth the few days stress if can get 50!

How long do you spend revising a topic? I’ve learned my topics like a week or so ago and need to revise for the exams and each one is taking me ages- however I know the FE1s are a mile wide and an inch deep! Any advice

My method the day before the exam is to allocate either 15 or 30 mins depending on the size of the topic, cram really intensely for those 15 mins, then just move on to the next once the 15 is up, I've found that if I get like 3/4 cycles through all my topics they seem to stick in my head for the exam.

Was very difficult to pull off for Constitutional, because of the amount of topics I only got 2 cycles in, so in theory it should be much easier for Equity

Ya I would do something similar, try to get a one page revision sheet done for each topic and then the day before I'll try go over and over those pages

Did someone say earlier that you don't need manifest disadvantage for presumed undue influence anymore or did I imagine that?

Or is that just in relation to banks once there is a non-commercial element?

Keto1456 · 08-03-2020 12:20AM

Any very kind soul out there have recent Examiner's reports for Contract, looking for October 18, March 19 and October 19? More than happy to share anything in return!

Similar but am also adding in the estoppel with a focus on unconscionability test. I have no idea why. Feeling suspicious.

I was debating putting prop estoppel in there too, do have a feeling it might come up but just didn’t make the prediction cut! Probably wishful thinking on my part to get a 3 certainties or secret trusts Q

An unconscionable based Q would be nice though

They would be lovely, why not man inj since new case?

user115 · 08-03-2020 02:14AM

For Equity I'm focusing on:

- Injunctions interloc and mareva
- Recission and IU
- CHaritable and cy pres
- Secret trusts
- Prop Estoppel
- 3 certs
- DMC
- Satisfaction
- trusteeship

Have notes done for SP but don't think it's gonna come up.

On interloc injunctions I've read up on Merke Sharpe v Clonmel, but is it relevant to talk about that in mandatory interloc injunctions? I'm so confused about it. Injunctions wrecking my head all evening has put me off doing the question if I have a choice.

She has been asking Mareva's alot if look through reports, last year she asked mand inter in autumn and qui timet in spring, in 2018 she asked mareva in both sittings and in previous years it's often on. I'm really hoping anton pillars don't appear I'm not covering them but they have been asked and have not been up now in a while. Would so love if I had choice not to do q on injunction

I’m hoping I can avoid injunctions as well. I’m not covering anton pillar but gonna try get brief summary of most other chaps in Tomorrow (hopeful thinking) I’m off to bed now, and up at 6.. woo

TORT

Whats peoples opinion on covering the below for the exam?

Defamation
Res Ipsa Loquiter
Animal and Fire

I am unsure whether to cover them or not. I haven't even looked at them so it would be learning from scratch and unsure if they are even likely to come up! Trying not to waste my time covering unnecessary topics (if thats even a thing!!)

Defamation has come up the last four sittings now so if it came up again it would be the fifth sitting in a row. Personally I had previously covered it earlier in my studying but doubt I'll be covering it again for that reason. Would love to hear what other people think of the Defamation/exam situation at present though?

Res Ipsa is a solid shout, just to have yourself covered. It's not that long a topic if I remember correctly.

I'd cover Liability for Animals on the same basis as Res Ipsa. It could possibly come up as part of a Q

JCormac · 08-03-2020 10:07AM

EU

For the Free Movements - Does anybody know how frequently Free movement of Services (FMS) come up as part of the FM of Workers question?

Haven't had time to cover FMS and would be super grateful if someone had like a page summary of the essentials of FMS or even the main cases if that's all that's needed. Trying to cut topics is a tricky business

I can trade whatever notes I have!

isawitfirst · 08-03-2020 10:10AM

Is there a different EU examiner this year or something? Just because the CC night before notes says "unlikely with this examiner" re free movement of services, and I'm just wondering if they mean this examiner is a different one or something

The CC night before notes are very good on that topic

Contract

Did discharge of contracts come up on the last sitting?

I won’t be covering defamation, employers liability, or professional negligence

Merck Sharpe & Dohme Corp v Clonmel Healthcare - Adequacy of damages is to be considered as part of the BOC rather than separately.

It's not a huge deal but it's still significant

Jeremiah25 · 08-03-2020 12:10PM

Anything major missing from this lot?

3 C's, DMC, Mareva, UI, Charitable/Resulting/Secret Trusts, Estoppel, Tracing & Specific Performance?

leavingcert17 · 08-03-2020 12:14PM

Would it be safe to leave out injunctions apart from mareva and maxims, quistclose, tracing and covered the rest?
