    Equity

    Answer me honestly....

    3 really solid answers, but could only answer one element of the note q, and was very iffy about the second half of q4 (wrote plenty on half secret trusts but the second half of question was out of my reach)

    Would this be enough to scrape a pass?

    My sister did it last year and she said that was the only exam she came out of thinking she did really really well.. she got 51. I'm in the same boat as you with three solid answers and two dodgy ones

    For Q8? That question was about proprietary estoppel though, no?

    Yeah it was on proprietary estoppel? That’s what I wrote on anyway. With a focus on unconscionability.

    Yeah for sure, that's grand so.

    Only thing I messed up on was the UI question, referred to Fitzgerald as Roche and Roche as Fitzgerald :o

    That shouldn't mess me up too bad though I think...

    Hopefully that is 2 for 2. 3 left let's goooooo

    Yeah in another topic I'd be more (tentatively) hopeful but knowing the pass rate for Equity...

    I was the same last sitting, did three solid Qs, one dodgy problem question and then for one half of the note it was a topic I hadn't even studied and had just looked over my friend's notes right before the exam (so a third of a page and probably one case).



    It turned out to be my best subject with 63, everything else (including ones Ive thought went really well) Ive gotten low to mid 50s.



    So you just don't know with these things, there's no point in dwelling on it until results are out!

    You never know with equity. Put it behind you and get ready for the next exam. I've known people who came out convinced they passed it only to be disappointed. The reverse has also proven to be true on more than one occassion. Chin up and soldier on it's not over yet.

    Promissory - Usually comes up in Contract
    Proprietary - Usually comes up in Equity

    The question was on proprietary

    Also do people think I will lose much marks for only referring to English cases on that Q? Question said to make reference to the jurisprudence of Irish courts and where appropriate to the jurisprudence of courts of other jurisdictions. I only had 1 Irish case in my notes but forgot it :(

    Equity charitable trusts
    How did people answer the charitable trust question ? I said the first one was releave of poverty and then the second one could fail due to the club being exclusive but then that the donation to the poor children could be the advancement of education or it could be of sufficient public benefit but wasn’t sure what would happen, mentioned coughlan case on golf courses

    Exact same.

    Used National Tourism v Scotland and National Tourism v Colgan.

    All fail except last one if they can show it involves some form of education/teaching/knowledge as per Re Shaw

    And under section 2 has to be of public benefit

    Yeah I went with something along the same. First one for the relief of poverty and second one for the benefit of the commuity. Think Coughlan would be the main case there regarding the limitation placed on the trust.
