For anyone who is sitting an exam next week - are they showing up in your ‘upcoming exams’? Sitting contract but it’s still showing as ‘no more exams scheduled’...

So sent an email to Law Society about this and actually received a reply!

Exams will appear on the morning of the exam, at the "scheduled" time, which I presume is 8.15.

Would any kind soul have the March 2020 Constitutional Examiner’s report that they could share?

Another silly question but last minute panic setting in....got my legislation second hand and old candidate number is on it....think I'm okay to just scribble it out and make it known at the start of the exam (hold it up or something) or tippex....scared it'll be flagged

Hi guys, hope study is going well. Could anyone tell me how long it took for legislation ordered from the OPW to arrive and to where ish? (I'm in the west)

In Wicklow it took about 3 working days to arrive but I'm in the middle of nowhere. I ordered it on the Thursday and got it the next Tuesday morning.

Once we log in at half 9 are we being recorded or can we still look at notes ?

Can't say for certain but since I don't think we were told anything to the contrary, I think it will be ok to look at notes. Best of luck all!

COMPANY

Can someone please approve this:

Priority of charges:
1. Fixed charge holders;
2. Preferential creditors - revenue, employees
3. Secured Creditors - fixed charged over book debts, floating charges
4. Unsecured creditors

Is the above the correct order of priority?

Any recent developments in online defamation?

Does anyone have a sample answer or would even be able to lay out a few points as to changes brought in by the 2014 companies act?

Trying to cram as much in as possible and thinking I might need a half-assed answer on that as a backup?

Sitting a few now and none have come up yet. First one isn't for a few days yet though.

Could someone who is sitting Tort tomorrow answer a few logistical questions for me.

- What exactly was the pre-exam process, was it the same as the mock ones where you 1. Showed your ID and 2. Showed your face smiling? Or was there an extra prompt to show your legislation and desk etc.?

- Were you shown your score, or any potential flags on your sitting in regards to this proctoring software. The language around this, and the entire process, seems very vague and quite frankly sketchy.

Thanks to anyone who could clarify what it was like to sit one of these "betterexaminations" exams. Best of luck to all

I’m actually planning on logging on for the tort exam even though I’ve passed it just to see what the process is like - will post here after and let you all know!

Hopefully LS doesn’t see this as me disregarding my pass and doing the exam again haha

can anyone clarify for me tests in vicarious liabilty city colleges and my manual seem to say scope test but then seemed to have mashed the scope'course together -

would you say theres the course test, scope test and close connection test or

is it just in the course/scope of employment as one test and close connection has the other more complex test for sexual assaults/child abuse/criminal acts?

Here is some recent English case law that might be worth a mention in the exam!

Two significant decisions delivered by the UK Supreme Court in April 2020 will provide welcome relief to employers on the extent to which they can be held "vicariously liable" for the actions of employees or individuals acting under the employer's direction.

In the cases of Barclays Bank plc v Various Claimants [2020] UKSC 13 and WM Morrison Supermarkets plc v Various Claimants [2020] UKSC 12 [2020] UKSC 12, the UK Supreme Court rowed back on an apparent widening of the doctrine of vicarious liability. The Court reversed previous findings that the relevant employer should be liable for the actions of individuals that were outside the employer's control.

The UK Supreme Court concluded that Morrisons was not vicariously liable for a massive data breach committed by a rogue employee nor was Barclays Bank vicariously liable for sexual assaults allegedly committed by an independent contractor (a doctor conducting pre-employment medical assessments on behalf of Barclays).

My personal take on it was a "simple test" for regular instances of a tort, and a "complex test" for more serious ones.
