FE1 Exam Thread (Read 1st post!) NOTE: YOU MAY SWAP EXAM GRIDS

Well.. usual torture of exam post-mortem - how did people find tort?

I thought the passing off q was lovely and defamation question ok.

Really struggled to identify topics for Murr? My answer will give me nightmares!

Product Liability and Causation I went with anyway

Would you have gotten marks for talking about Nervous Shock for the question where he shocked the girl at work or is that completely wrong?

Thank god! Thanks a mill! I didn’t go into the material contribution test etc but did talk on causation do you think that this was needed?

I don’t know, I thought nervous shock was for witnesses of accidents and aftermaths etc so I went with duty of care, causation and remoteness, and damages for loss of earnings, medical expenses, and pain and suffering

I just briefly discussed multiple source/material increase in risk because it was undetermined whether the steering fault caused the crash

Literally the same i know I chose to answer it but what the f*ck was question 7 lol

Overall a decent paper, wouldn't have called it easy though. Would've loved a question on occupiers liability or nervous shock as I knew that inside out!

I went with false imprisonment, nervous shock and vicarious/ employers liability! Oh god...

I would say it’s right in a sense although emotional distress would be more correct under trespass to the person

I also went down the route of duty to warm and possible duty to recall a defective product! Oh god!

Anyone do the limitations question and how did you go about it?

I went with trespass to the person ( false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress with 5 lines on no assault as she didnt see the bucket of ice water) then possible nervous shock if she could show her injuries were shock induced and due to fear of being burnt rather than just psychological injuries due to being made fun of in work

What did people advise for old man Murr in the Park?

That was an awkward paper. disappointed with it

What did people say for the question on the cigarette butts, I spoke about private nuisance and causation and wrote a paragraph on Rylands but said it didn’t apply dunno how right or wrong I was, anyone with a better understanding of it?

I went with private nuisance and negligence with small bit of remoteness and contributory negligence

Beyond disappointed with that, thought the problem questions were tough to make sense of so had to do 2 essays - let's pray he likes my interpretation of defamation and social media... Tricky to apply knowledge to those questions

I answered Q 3 on nervous shock. I had planned on answer on infliction of emotional distress also but ran out of time.

It's very similar to a question that came up a sitting or two ago and I'm fairly sure the examiner gave marks for those who answered it on nervous shock and those who answered it on emotional distress so wouldn't be worried

Q6 was products liability I'm pretty sure

For question 8 I talked about how s.48 allows the law to bend etc but used basically all my notes aswell

iamanengine

For the limitations Q I mainly talked about the introduction of discoverability rules as well as disabilities, also briefly mentioned estoppel and fraud and then just wrote undue influence and a load of cases cos I ran out of time lol
