What's the turnaround time? I got 43% in Tort which I feel is quite low because I thought I passed it when I came out of the exam. Is there any point in rechecking it because it feels like the gap is too great?

The refund probably means that the cost to sit the exam from the comfort of your own home will not be the same as would be charged to physically sit the exam in various venues , so maybe there will will be a slight refund based on the difference? It's quite clear when people are communicating with the LS individually we are all getting different answers. They told me the third week in September so technically that could be as early as the 14th ....we will have to wait and see 🙈

LawCopy16 wrote: » The thing that I don't understand about all of this is that it says on the website that "If a physical sitting of the examination is not possible, the Committee will consider alternative options" but on the timetable itself it says that if a physical sitting of the exam is not possible " we will contact all candidates immediately and a full refund of fees will be issued" which suggests that the exam would be cancelled completely. So do they mean that if it can't go ahead physically that they will find an alternative (remote sitting) or that they will cancel it completely?

That's not enough time for rechecks, and what happens if you fail it quite badly and want to resit in August? You can't because by then the ****ing deadline will be passed for the application. What a bunch of disorganised fools. Never had any issue with colleges taking so fecking long to mark papers or answer simple queries by email or answer the phone.. Urgghhh

Infliction of Emotional Distress being the Tort and Nervous Shock being the type of injury. Maybe he allowed it seeing as the Q is kind of ambiguous? Not sure though, I definitely could be wrong!

Nervous shock is a condition that may be a result of a tort (wrong) but it is not a wrong itself. So any given question can be about one or both the tort of intentional infliction of emotional distress and nervous shock. Conflating the two concepts would cause confusion. I will try and clarify by reference to more accessible torts and conditions. Take the tort of negligence. The wrong is the negligent act or omission that gives rise to loss, injury, damage etc. A straightforward example is concussion suffered as a result of being rear-ended in a car crash. The tort or wrong is the negligent driving (failing to stop, driving at an excessive speed, failure to keep a proper look out etc.) The loss, injury, damage is the concussion. In an intentional infliction of emotional distress case, the tort is the intentional or reckless infliction of emotional distress and the loss, injury, damage etc. might be nervous shock. So to continue with a road traffic scenario by way of analogy, if someone drives so erratically and in such a dangerous way as to give other road users such a fright that one or more of them develop nervous shock, for example, an out of control driver mounting a footpath at a busy bus stop but miraculously failing to hit any pedestrians might still cause loss or damage to people at the bus stop from their wrongdoing. This may be held to be the tort of intentional infliction of emotional distress and some of the rather fortunate unfortunates at the bus stop may develop nervous shock and have a case against the driver of the vehicle. THIS POST IS ABOUT NERVOUS SHOCK VS. INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!! Hopefully that settles it. The real shame is that there's any confusion in the first place tbh because it should be made crystal clear they are entirely different concepts every time lecturers encounter them.
