Would any brave soul like to hazard a guess as to what will appear on the company exam tomorrow? I doubt ultra vires will show up, but I'd say SLP will as it wasn't on last time.

Courtney generally copies between two-three questions from the second and third last paper, I.e. October & Mar 2019. Rule out the ones he’s already copied in Mar 2020 and that’ll leave you with a few bankers I think. S.238/239, advantages/disadvantages of incorporation (which includes SLP), examinership etc.

He blatantly copies and pastes, doesn’t even change the name of the people involved sometimes.

If you scroll back you’ll see I passed it in aug but didn’t get the results until after I had applied for this sitting. They haven’t refunded me or updated their system so I was still due to sit it.

Ah okay, strange one!

That is horrific, I hope it went okay for you and you got what you hoped down.

They have on the website that they have extended it by 30 minutes ...

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

They won't see that in the webcam, people use second hand legislation all the time at the physical exams where they actually take your legislation and look through it and it's not an issue so I wouldn't worry at all about having an old ID number written on it

I logged on and had a look at the paper and the set up - doesn’t seem to be any different to the mock exams - just had to show the ID and do the pictures of my face and that was it. No defamation on the paper and an essay on liability of rescuers - bit of a curveball there. A prob q on medical negligence, employers liability, nuisance (prob ucc v esb but not sure), general essay on how tort law compensates victims, problem q on occupiers liability and a q on something to do with Covid but not sure what topic it would cover

How did you login to the exam if you don't have it in your upcoming exams if you don't mind me asking?

Did anyone find during the mock that when scanning their Id the picture quality on their webcam was really bad? my webcam has the minimum resolution and it passed the test for the webcam in the mock but the picture quality is pretty bad so you cant make out properly the details in small print on my licence eg my address because its quite blurry - just my picture and the licence number in larger print at the bottom.. does anyone else have this issue?

- When they ask for ID I'm assuming you have to scan driving license, etc.?

- Are we being given an extra half hour for the exam?

LeagleEagle747

Best of luck everyone! Hope today's exam rectified itself and you all got a good paper.
Will we be asked to show our room? I've had to move to using a desktop computer with a built in webcam since my laptop went kaputt, so I'll find lifting the monitor to scan the room a little difficult.

Best of luck today all. Do you have to open proctorio each time as if I click on betterexam for tomorrow like does it only give me option to download when i click into the exam

Does anyone have notes on the "in public" requirement for the courts in constitutional? My manual doesn't cover it at all

Lelila

Hi. Can anyone help me with this please?

From the March 2020 paper, Q8 :

Section 1 of the Act provides that it applies “to all actions currently in being and subsequently initiated before the courts”.

Is there any issue with new legislation stipulating that it applies to actions in being?

I have the tort exam showing on my schedule even though I passed it in august - anyone else having the same issue?

Yes, me too. I was able to log in to it this morning, so I did and checked out what the exam format was like again. I have a copy of my Tort paper I passed in August, so I have proof I passed it.

Yes they do but the "lobby" opens at 8.15 according to one of the recent emails.

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.

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?
