Constitutional Interpretation hasn't been up in the last two sittings and has only gone 3 sittings without an appearance once so could be due a run. Freedom of Expression comes up almost every year and didn't appear last sitting. Locus Standi/Fair Procedures/Natural Justice given the big Damache case this year.

So it looks like we can take the trial run any time within the day, this might suit people better like myself that are working all day tomorrow "This exam will be open for 1 day from 10:00am on October 22nd 2020 until 2:00pm on October 23rd 2020."

I'm going to cover the following: Negligence: duty, standard, causation- to apply to scenarios with the potential of an essay Psychiatric damage; if I have time to cram i'll include negligent misstatement and pure economic loss, but not likely at this stage!! Employers & Vicarious Liability- City colleges highlight this is a potential Animal liability because it hasn't come up in so long Damages Nuisance, Trespass and Rylands Passing off Defamation comes up a lot so it'll either continue to appear or stop. Either way i'm going to take a chance and leave it out... EEEK!

Once we print it in view of the webcam and we can hold the paper up to the camera to show that's all we've printed, what could their reason possibly be not to permit this??

Will I have to flick through every page in front of my webcam, unprompted because I'm not able to be instructed or ask a question because there is nobody there. What happens if I need to go to the toilet? This whole thing has been a mess of a journey from start to finish since March. The only reason I am sticking with this is because I wasted 4 years getting a pointless law degree and I am sick and tired of getting nothing but abuse working in retail and I want a way out. Especially at a time like this.

They couldn't, however, confirm whether we can go to the bathroom or not... that is apparently still in discussion.... I can't see how they'd get away with not letting us go to the bathroom on an ethical standard... but they don't seem to consider that regardless
