Perhaps Crystallisation

Really hoping you mean Crystallisation is least likely to appear!!

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?

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:)

There were quite a few changes - here's something I read which explains it well

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

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

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

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

Hey Guys,

In regards Company, would people imagine that I would be okay with these topics?

SLP
Authority and Capacity
Share and Share Transfer
Protection of Minorities
Directors- Types, Duties and Conflict of Interest
Corporate Borrowing
Winding Up
Realisation of Corporate Assets

and a passable knowledge of the benefits of incorporation and capital maintenance.

Sorry, I know that nobody obviously knows anything about whats going to be on the paper, but I'm trying to decide if I should power through an extra topic, to be safe?

Thank you!!

Shonagoring123

For SLP I’ve mainly concentrated on incorporation and the exceptions - can someone tell me what’s the section 31??

The examiner apparently repeats some questions every 12-18 months. It was on in March 19, but also October 2016 mixed with directors 228 duties, so I'm not sure its coming up again

Pls do not comment here on what examiners ask

At this stage I'm just bitter I can't stay up all night to watch the election coverage aha to check the news tomorrow morning before the exam or not...

Lawgrad101

At the end of the exam, do you have to save/submit your exam before the clock runs out fully?

Its fairly handy, most of it is just in the Act.

For section 238 there is like 3 cases:

Re Duckwari Plc
Court in the Uk held Contractual rights could be non cash assets in the equivalent to section 238 in the Uk - this case is used as authority for the fact a lease can be a non cash asset.

Kerr v Conduit Enterprises
The value of a lease will be its capital value which is ita assignment value - nil.

Buchanan v McVey
An informal resolution by all of the members will suffice instead of an ordinary resolution provided the act is intra vires the company.

Section 239 is just all in the act, I don't have any cases for that - if someone does please shoot them across.

Was anyone told their 'risk score' today after the exam? Just a bit scared about looking at the legislation for too long!

I'd say on balance to leave out realisation

Is there a need to cover 'Mootness' for constitutional?

does anyone know if we can look at our notes after we have logged on but before the exam starts?

CoconutHeadMia

The option to start the exam between 10 and 11:30 - does this mean you could study until say 11:20 and login and begin your exam? Or does it only apply if you are experiencing technical difficulties?

yeah we can look at them until 10 and then put them at the back of the room when it starts!
