    Company was actually grand (except for my absolute bluff for the question on s31 contracts. I was going well for time, until realized that I wasn’t actually typing in the text box for about 5 minutes as I was typing so fast so had had to go back and write it all again 🥲 but overall what did you guys think of it? So glad it’s over

    What topic did the S.31 question relate to lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13 metalhead785


    What did people say for the question on registering charges (question 6 maybe). Was it correct to discuss fixed/floating charges over book debts in part b?

    Twas a grand old paper. Thought the question about the registration of charges was a bit too specific so I didn't do it. Luckily receivership also come up!!!

    Can anyone shed some light on the charges question? Q6.

    I think I may have made a balls of it

    What Q was that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37 FE1Pleb


    What Q was that

    The two parter on registration of charges and book debts


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 76 ✭✭Fe123

    I said that for part b! For part a I basically wrote out provisions of the company act lol

    I was very thrown by that question and haven't a clue wherther I was correct
    For part (a) I discussed registration saying the charge was void and (b) discussed whether it was fixed or floating over book debts

    Ok buzzin' so did I. I was worried it was something specific that I had missed. Very tricky question

    That s31’s predecessor to the company’s act was of ‘most sacred character’, where it’s not an orthodox contract but one with a special status in binding all the members of a company together.

    Did not like that company paper myself. Hoping he's a nice marker.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 84 ✭✭bobbyness


    From my past paper revisions, at least 3 of the questions in the Company exam was almost a word for word copy from 2018-2019 papers.

    Did anyone else get logged out at 1pm?

    Nope. I'd talk to them right away about that. Get your extra 30 mins.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11 ejm47


    Thought the paper was ok but don't know how I managed to let myself run out of time for my last exam!!! Kinda going mad because I left the restriction question til last then didn't finish it and it was one of the nicest questions...oh well


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10 roisneesh


    Is he a hard marker does anyone know? I left out a bit in the subsidiary q because I was stuck for time

    Literally noticed that too. Even the names of the receivers etc were the exact same looking back at the past papers - could have been a Covid armistice?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53 ✭✭Katniss1998


    Lovely paper. Thought the book debts question was a little tricky. I said that the charge over the bank account did not need to be registered because it was not a registerable charge. Does that sounds ok?

    It was a lengthy question. What did you say for the bit about the books getting stolen?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 480 ✭✭nmurphy1441


    Very fair paper I thought! Only thing I would say is I found all the answers to be very lengthy. I was typing and typing and didn’t seem to be finishing any question fast enough!!!

    How long were everyone else's answers for s.31? I attempted it but it was around half the length of the rest of my answers.

    Same. Mine was roughly half the length of the other answers. I had a tiny intro, a few paras and a 5 line conclusion just baffling on about how sacred s31 is lol there is not a whole lot of material to cover for it
