I feel like a lot of those questions had multiple possible routes you could have taken.

Like Nervous Shock or Wilkinson or Employer Liability for the question on yer one in the office.

Or the tort of Nuisance or Negligence for the guy who couldn't stop smoking. Maybe it was just me that said Negligence. Oof

Louis Litt

Anyone know what kind of a marker they are for Tort? any stories of ppl coming out with the pass after a couple of poor questons

[Deleted User]

Seeing as next round is just 8 weeks away surely these results will be well before the usual 6 weeks?

I hope so, I had to stop mid exam to have a good old laugh at myself ... can’t win them all I suppose

Saving EU torture for a future date, my own case law fell out of my head in large chunks as well so feel your pain. Might not have been as bad as you fear. Pressure often makes diamonds.

Not the first time it's happened either! Haha

On terry, anyone say not directly liable, but mother could be. Parents directly liable for childs torts, curley v mannion

Yep, that's what I said

Thought that was a very fair paper, happy to get five questions done. Hopefully that's the last of the exams for myself (PLEASE!) - this thread was a great support system over the last 18 months or so.

Much appreciated to everyone who chimes in and helps each other. They can be a slippery road at times, but with bit of perseverance and patience you'll get there. Best of luck in EU, stay safe and healthy!

Relieved someone agrees with me haha

But yeah think that’s spot on. Questioned allowed you to answer on multiple angles. The facts fit into the Kelly principles perfectly

Trespass to person was also a valid approach.

A very similar question to this was asked in either the March 2019 or October 2019 sitting and I remember people on here saying they got marks for both trespass or nervous shock

I did the same, Ns, not VL but possibly employers liability not safe place of work for not dealing with his pranks earlier as he had a history of it.

that's exactly how I did it. the 5 rules are there if you can satisfy all of them you may have a claim. no rule about witnessing. only that it must be due to contemplated harm to you or someone else. witnessing is covered by 5th rule i.e. is there a duty of care to not cause but in this q its not a secondary victim

Will we get these results faster than the usual 6ish weeks?

IgoPAP

FANTASTIC paper! Completely chuffed - genuinely couldn't have asked for better. My eyes went wide when I saw a full question of Res Ipsa and Defamation!

What did people say for the defamation essay?

My manual only had 2 cases on social media - the Ugandan man v Facebook Ireland and tansey v Gill

I did Cassidy v Daily Mirror, Tansley v Gill and McKeogh v Facebook & Ors is a good one.

CiaranS93

These are my last 2 exams and overall that was definitely the worst. Not because it was particularly hard but because of how confusing the questions were. Even looking at the amount of differing opinions on questions scares me ðŸ˜‚

Not necessarily, apply the Kelly v Hennessy principles, recognised psychiatric illness, shock induced, by the act/omission of D, result in damage or apprehension of damage, foreseeability. That works perfectly for that Q

You could definitely apply infliction of emotional distress too tho

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?

Nuisance, Negligence and briefly did Trespass to Land

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

Think it is false imprisonment and Infliction of emotional suffering under Trespass. I briefly discussed VL but said it wasnt applicable due to no link to employees work duties and didn't satisfy Salmons test. Could be wrong.

Question 7 anyone? Wrote a page on battery then binned it as I realised it wasn't that
