I used the exact same yeah. I feel his questions have so much range in terms of what could be talked about so hopefully he'll take it

Yeah exactly. I think Cons. is one of those where you could argue almost anything if you can back it up at all.

No nice president/AG/Cons Interpretation Q either for us either!!

I was devastated about this. Even a referenda essay would have been a small mercy.

Yeah tough paper. I sat the March one too but thought this one was a bit better - was much more prepared for it mind.

Constitutional my last fe1 to pass and it went tits up, thought it was brutal hard, there was basically two case note questions I thought, had to answer the Real case Note even though I had not planned on it. Only consolation is that everyone found it tough.

I'm in the same boat

Anyone know if you’ll be flagged for going to the bathroom? Between that and looking at my constitution I’m worried about it !

Same I did the case note too even though I have never written one before, no idea if I did it right, lets hope he doesn't expect a strong structure or anything like that

I thought the same , so unfair there were essentially 3 case notes - the case that was presented with Mohan wasn’t even in the manual . Also the sop questions looked like traps bc they looked so similar you’d be doubting yourself . Not one straightforward question , so much harder looking than past papers . Heard it was a new examiner , so hopefully the marking is nice

I only managed one case note -
Do you think I will fail for not answering the full 5 questions?

CiaraND16 · 11-11-2020 03:23PM

EU

Does anyone have the city colleges breakdown of questions and exam reports per topic? I have other EU and contract stuff to swap! Thank you

It depends on how strong your other answers are. Definitely not impossible.

Supermax1988 · 11-11-2020 03:32PM

Did anyone do the first problem question? Think it was freedom of expression but unsure of what else was in it?

Was that with Gerry and the run on the banks ?

Spreece · 11-11-2020 03:33PM

Got very lucky with constitutional this morning. Looked at McGee and Roche v Roche this morning. Read Kerins and DOB last night for first time. Expected to fail before 10am but everything I covered came up. European is bound to get me now.

Looked like FOE with a big focus on journalistic privilege. The Corcoran case from this year seemed especially relevant. Steered clear of it myself.

lsheehaneire · 11-11-2020 03:38PM

RE Gerry What about the "powers "of the inquiry ? Also mentioned cab confidentially of the leaked document...

Was the fisheries question not delegated legislation, o sullivan v fisheries? ...

The fishing question was my last one i answered it on article 10 natural resources and barlow case (although i said barlow v minister for environment when its actually barlow v minister for agriculture ugh) and then also mentioned right to earn a livelihood and proportionality? not sure if that was right though and also hate myself for getting the case name half wrong!!

Lawlaw12 · 11-11-2020 03:43PM

Wow thank god everyone else was in the same boat
I made an absolute bollox of that paper, so it's reassuring to hear that it wasn't just me

Does anyone know what the second Q was about... I just answered on journalists sources, I feel like I was missing out on something else obvious though?

Out of curiosity, why do you think the August (in person) paper changed? From what I can see it was PQ on DE/MSL, essay on human rights, PQ on arts 34-36, essay on judicial review, PQ on fmow/citizenship, essay on arts 101-102, case note, PQ on arts 30 and 110.

I noticed the layout not the traditional and there were 2 different questions on fmog ... May be a sign of change or might just be that (singular) exam

ellachapman96 · 11-11-2020 03:44PM

What are people covering for contract tomorrow? Thinking of leaving out privity and mistake since they were both up in March but not sure if too risky! Maybe terms too

I think it was on locus standi but not at all sure

Hazel774 · 11-11-2020 03:47PM

That paper absolutely destroyed me, was meant to be my last exam... good chance I'll be seeing it again in March now

Devastated

I even prepared a locus standi essay but I didn't have that P case in my LS notes, I had detailed notes on P just for remedies, I didn't have anything re his LS... still had to answer that Q and just ignore the P part of it.
I also had done Roche v Roche but it was only like 2 sentences in my manual so couldn't manage the case note Q

lsheehaneire · 11-11-2020 03:49PM

It mentioned criminal sanctions in delegated legislation so I presumed it was prompting principles and policies....oh christ knows

Lawlaw12 · 11-11-2020 03:50PM

I was so thrown by Q8, ended up doing it in bullet points and I just did one point on refusal of medical treatment, one on Article 40 procedure and one on fair procedures but the only FP case I could remember was the 2020 Damache case which wasn't exactly relevant (didn't let that stop me though lol)

My answer had absolutely no structure to it at all haha

I was the exact same! Just answered the essay based on Mohan cos I didn't know the P case so completely ignored it. And I literally wrote a few lines off Roche cos I had no choice but to do it cos the other questions I didn't know at all. I found it such a hard paper. But it seems like a lot of others did too so hopefully he'll take it into consideration.
