    What are people covering for Property?

    I'm fed up and just doing:
    Succession (hoping for 2 Qs)
    Co-ownership
    Easements (focus on prescription, necessity etc.)
    Family Property

    Could cover L&T but unsure it will come up again

    Really don't want to do Licences

    Cover Finding, didn't come up last sitting and it's really short

    Tort being the last exam is harsh. Can already feel it looming over me and I have EU to get through first. Criminal was my first exam would’ve been a sweet one to round off with instead.

    Have left EU very very late and basically have to cram everything into the next 24 or so hours ;(

    Any advice to where I’d be best to focus on?
    Shortest/ most likely topics?

    TIA!

    Also I just looked at the papers and it looks to be the case that institutions was up each sitting in 2018 while in 2017 it was general principles/fundamental rights both times. Maybe a switch back to rights for this sitting?

    Property

    If answering a question on covenants, is it ok to have little or no case law? I can only see 1 case on the topic Tulk v Moxhay?

    I am in the exact same boat! I'm literally taking a total gamble and learning 5 topics, maybe 6 and if they dont come up its my own fault! I havent decided on the 5 yet for sure but its looking like:
    Institutions, FMOG, Direct Effect, Judicial Review and Citizenship.
    Not confirmed yet im going to dissect the papers soon and make a random prediction! After that, what will be will be

    Be careful not to get confused. The true owner of the thing will ALWAYS have the best claim. It is only if the true owner can’t be determined that the doctrines of treasure trove and finding apply.

    Then, if it’s found in/under land the landowner has the best claim.
    If it’s found on land the finder has the best claim.

    Don't know about all of you, but I'm increasingly less happy to be going to sit in a big room of ~500 people coughing for 3 hours.

    If it didn't seem as much of a risk last week, all feels very different now. Worried that Law Society wouldn't shut it down in an apocalypse.

    Yeah I honesty can't believe they're still going ahead - given lectures being cancelled at Trinity and all, how can the Law Soc justify crowing us all in together everyday??

    It’s not even just that they’re still going ahead, it’s what feels like a total lack of any measures to manage it.

    No invigilators wearing gloves or evidence of hand sanitiser being widely used etc, no information or just general recognition that it’s an issue.

    And no attempt to set the desks wider apart, despite the fact that they have an extra venue in Cork this year so you’d think space wouldn’t be an issue.

    The cork venue is nothing like the mania of the red cow. I’m shocked at how few have taken the option to sit them here.

    I feel really sorry for the invigilators, alot of them are elderly. The risk is not just to people sitting exams, it's their families and wider public. Not even an email from them to warn against people attending if they have symptoms or have recently travelled to any affected areas, like that is fairly basic. Not sure how law society are justifying that to themselves

    I was actually thinking of bringing some desinfectante wipes and wipe my desk. I don’t know who was sitting in there before me. The virus is spreading very fast and I want to take no chances. I actually have a friend who is sitting the exams whose parents were in Italy but is not worried because they are not showing any symptoms but they could be carrying the virus for 14 days before they show any symptoms.

    I think if exams were starting say on Monday, they definitely would have been called off. But because they made the decision to go ahead with Criminal and Constitutional they probably feel they have to finish the sitting now
