Thanks so much!! Just regarding preliminary reference procedure my grid says it hasn’t been up since 2014 are you doing it in conjunction with a different topic? Sorry I just hadn’t planned on looking at it

I've actually decided to cut PRP now, not worth it in the time I have left. But yeah I meant it by itself.

I'm also cutting Citizenship. Too nebulous.

Hi I feel exactly the same it is an essay form of the case note question without a choice , so if you don’t know the cases you have a choice of 5 questions from 6

Contract

What are people looking towards for misrepresentation and mistake?

CiaraND16 · 11-11-2020 09:49PM

Sorry posting this again just in case!

EU

Does anyone have the city colleges breakdown of questions and exam reports per topic? He mentions it in the night before video. I have other EU and contract stuff to swap! Thank you

Citizenship is the worst

Contract

My head is fried after today and can’t manage to understand communication of acceptance starting to get stressed over it now
Am I right in saying that the general rule is entores so when and where the offeror learns of it or should learn from it but in non instantaneous communication the postal rule could apply depending where the court feels the risk should lie?
Something really simple just don’t have the head for it right now lol

FEnewbee · 11-11-2020 10:08PM

Ok, I've covered the following:
Institutions
Supremacy
Direct Effect
Preliminary Ref
Judicial Review
MSL
FMOG
FMOW
Citizenship and
Equality

I might have a flick over Fundamental Rights and FMOS if I have time tomorrow just to get some cases in my head.

I know there is no competition/state aid/mergers in there cause I hate it with a burning passion...so I guess my question is am I gonna get burned if I leave it out? Also if I was to cover it, am I better off doing Art 101/102 or what?
I know someone mentioned there will have been 4 EU papers this year so I'm just freaking out that I won't be able to do five questions cause I avoided competition and I'm **** at the case note question.

Which of the following, if any, would be safe to leave out ?
Privity, mistake or terms

Doing: O+A
Intention
Consideration/prom estoppel
Consumer protection
UI
Misrepresentation
Discharge
Remedies

No idea, sorry.

I'm wondering whether UNDUE INFLUENCE appeared recently?

I had a nice eq prepared on it for equity before but don't think I could re-learn at this late stage!

It came up in October 2019 in a problem question

Haven't learnt it myself though

Maybe gen principles / free movement of services ? Think you’re probably covered though tbh!

Institutions/Sources of EU Law

Then if I have time:
Workers
Citizenship
Equality

I have covered the same. But I’m now convincing myself I might be short without citizenship/workers!
Way to tired from the past 3 exams to cover it though.

I hopefully won’t regret saying this on Friday, but is the whole he has to set four papers this year thing being a bit over analysed? Like they have to set two a year, what’s the difference? As far as I can see, the three papers this year were the same as the usual trend with every paper having one of: FMOG, JR, DE, general principles, competition, FMOW/citizenship (I haven’t looked closely at these but I just bundle them together in my head), and the case notes. The only difference I can see is that in March institutions appeared along with all those topics and in the two August papers it was two questions on FMOG.

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m just reading all these posts about topic changes wondering where people are getting the idea from? I’m only doing FMOG, DE, JR, GP’s and Institutions, and knowing enough to scrape a pass on Citizenship/FMOW, so I’m just assuming that’s me covered going by all the past years tbh.

The only thing I would say about state aid is that is might be relevant in the current climate so I've looked it over, but I suppose we won't know until Friday!

That...makes perfect sense lol

I guess I was just really stressed about leaving out a guaranteed Q because Comp is usually Q 8 and I'm only giving myself a possible 6 Qs to answer if I'm avoiding Comp and CN but seeing someone who clearly isn't having a nervous breakdown actually break it down is very helpful so thank you!

I've covered a lot but I've definitely wrapped my head around some better than others so I'm just gonna review like mad so maybe I can gain some confidence by Friday. Thanks again!

I understood the main thing that came out of Entores was that even with acceptance through electronic means the acceptance would still be deemed to have taken place when it was received [got into the ears of the listener]. The Brimnes is important in that regard as well as it established that in the case of electronic means it wont be a defence to say there is no acceptance because the fax or e-mail was not read.

Looking at past papers, institutions, direct effect, A263(4), FMOG are 99% certain which means only one other topic is required. FMOW, Competition and Citizenship cover that risk adequately I think. Views??

Fe1user5555 · 12-11-2020 01:09AM

Last question so sorry! Is anyone leaving out fundamental rights? I haven’t looked at it much at all and really don’t know if I will have time tomorrow unless it is a very easy learn

I think there was a full question on it last time out? I’m leaving it. I have a few cases as part of general principles. But that’s all.

This is true. But my tired brain is telling me it’s not enough and I’ll be stuck😂
I think it’s too late in the day to panic and add more. I’m just going to stick with what usually shows, and hope it’s not as bad as Constitution!

fe1fi20 · 12-11-2020 03:22AM

Penalty clauses & liquidated damages came up in March, is there a chance of it coming up tomorrow?

From going through the past papers and this is just what I’ve noticed I’m not saying it’s definitely true but she seems to re-ask questions if they’ve been answered poorly previously. At one stage she asked the interpretation of contracts question twice in a row but apart from that repetition doesn’t seem to occur very often. I’d say it’s more likely not to make an appearance but you never know.

legallyginger · 12-11-2020 07:53AM

Perhaps a bit late now but does anybody know if you'll be harshly marked if case name isn't 100% or you don't give the details for them?

I’ve forgotten case names in all of my exams so far, I find them really hard to remember but where it happened I made reference to a fact of the case that it would be known by and I’ve still passed the question.

Thanks for this! Keep getting messed up with the exclusion cases all "X Great X Railway"....frying my head!

Fe7 · 12-11-2020 08:19AM

I’m so screwed for contract today ahaha honestly don’t know why I find it even harder than Tort or Equity to pick out some of the issues. Rip
