I just started worrying about directors duties and s. 238 and 239. Does anybody want to share notes or sample answer. I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Ok I really need to get off boards now and concentrate ðŸ€£ pm me your email I have some condensed notes on them that may be helpful. If you tell me what year it cane up I can see if I have a sample answer for you.

I would be hoping if they come up it would be part of a problem question where you could say that the transaction was voidable at the instance of the company

BIG second on this!

I have 'to whom Director's Duties are owed' & 's 228 - Fiduciary Duties', done.
But have absolutely nothing on s 238 & 239, embarrassingly enough barely even know about them.

Has their ever been a Q on s 238/239 & why do people think it will come up?
I would absolutely cry if everything I learnt off for Directors was for nothing because this came up without me covering it.

Do you have the march 2019 paper? it came up here as question 2. you could defo throw a few notes together now on it because a lot of it is in the act and theres not too many cases to learn I think I only have 4 cases or so for it

Can someone who sat an exam today please confirm that you can navigate from one question to another without any bother? Like there is no need to save the answer before you move onto another q. Or can only come back to a question at the end of the exam. Like can you can come back to a question with no problem at any time of the exam?

Yes, its a very easy process u just click on each question and the work is saved automatically. I really like the set up, I was keeping my Essay until last and it was on product liability and anytime something came into my head I would just click on the question and type it. I did miss the ability to scribble but I think that is just habit, I also found the notes and sticky pad quite useful.

You have the option to highlight underline italic bold and do numbers and bullet points, you can highlight the question but not your answer and you can't change the text colour

What difference has the criminal justice (sexual offences) act 2017 had on sexual offences? My notes all reference the 2006 act, 1990 and the 1981?

I have the 2017 reform aimed at protecting children but not for other sexual offences: sexual assaults, vulnerable people etc.

I'd greatly appreciate any direction:)

Did anyone that did the exam today use a hotspot from their phone? I know you’re not meant to have your phone on but I just moved into a new place and and the broadband was meant to be installed on Friday but they company have messed me about. Does anyone else intend on using their hotspot? I don’t think I have any other options with the exam being tomorrow!

I think they had said in their answers that two screens weren't allowed.

Hi guys just on word count, I've noticed when I type up my answers I am only roughly getting a page in, roughly 400-450 words per answer.

I know that when I would be actual writing an answer in the answer booklets I'd easily clear 3-5 pages. Not sure if this is something that is taken into account but it just looks like I'm writing so little, anyone else notice or is it a cause for concern???

Quality over Quantity and all that

Typing usually tends to result in less pages in comparison to hand writing.

Not sure where this whole thing about pages/word count comes from. I've seen it a lot on this forum but can't understand where it comes from. Let's face it, if you're an examiner, would you rather one or two pages that are on point and relevant or 5 plus pages of rambling nonsense!

Like you said, it's about quality over quantity. You don't need x amount of pages. Just a clear, concise, on point answer with relevant case law and legislation.

This might be a silly question. Anyone know the procedure for taking bathroom breaks? Do you just get up and go?

Is anyone else's exam now showing up as not taken? I also got a link for more time as I emailed and said my timer was short a few minutes and I got an email and a link to finish it which I did not want to do, I just wanted it to be logged. Now no one is answering the phone. It used to say awaiting feedback and now I am terrified its all gone, but if I click the link and use the time I will be flagged. Help!!

It’s coming up as not taken for me not too, seriously hope it hasn’t been lost

Yes I clicked it when I did it said it was only available to 6pm, so maybe that's why it's not appearing anymore.

I know it really is and has really added to the stress, now im worried I shouldn't have clicked it if you are saying it gets flagged.

That was only me being precautious anyway, they sent it for a reason but its very strange like everyone had different experiences?

I didn't realize it expired at 6pm... I wasn't stuck for it anyway but I would have liked to finish a question, but as long as it is taken into account I would feel a bit easier.

I am shook at the whole thing if I am honest.
