Absolutely manageable. I sat Tort & EU in august and tort was first so I spent most of my time prepping for that because of the sheer amount of topics to cover. Had my notes prepared and had a vague idea of EU but most of the learning for it took place the day off in between exams after tort. 2.5 days is definitely enough time if you really put the head down. Best of luck!

Thank you!! This is so reassuring! I was freaking out that I'd pass Equity and then fail the "easier" one and throw it all away!! I'm thinking of getting at least DE/MSL and either FMOG or JR done tonight and then spend 12 hours at least Mon & Tues!

This has given me a ray of hope. I thought I had ‘learned off’ 3 chapters a few weeks ago but looking at them tonight it feels like the first time I’m seeing most of it

I am the exact same! Long night ahead of cramming

I've been so terrified to fail equity again that I literally spent all my time on it and had the attitude that I'd breeze through EU because the paper is so predictable and there's basically 5 guaranteed topics/chapters... now I'm starting to completely freak out that I should've spent more time on it - is it a fairly easy subject to pass? Not that it's an "easy pass", it's still an FE, but is it doable with only 2.5 days of study?

10000% i learned off EU in 2 days and i passed with 15% or so to spare! and i found EU very difficult as a subject. marker is lovely

For remedies, is damages / remoteness of damage and mitigation what usually comes up?

Agreed, hate the thing trying to put together some vaguely coherent notes myself atm and failing it’s so large and convoluted

For misrepresentation are people covering contracts of utmost good faith regarding insurance contracts - does this ever come up

I think you can use it as part of the answer if a question on duty to act in good faith if that came up, like you’d still have to mention Flynn and Breccia etc, but in the examiner reports she said they still accepted that as an answer!

I hate to bring the positivity down but I've actually just had the most negatively sick feeling in my stomach about Contract and am considering not sitting it.

Does anyone know if I call tomorrow morning will I be refunded my money, or will I have to be at the loss of it?

Just try? I know how you feel but if you're going to take the hit with the fees, just look at the paper and if you're not feeling it, then leave. But you never know.

I think you have to have a medical note for cancelling and getting a refund and it can take an age to get the money back.

No I'm not covering this at all. I haven't seen it in the papers but I could be wrong

Would anyone know of any potential reform suggestions for easements? It has appeared at the end of a question on the right to light/way/ support in the 2016 October paper and I can't seem to find anything. The exam report doesn't even suggest any potential talking points which is strange.

I'm stuck on this as well, I have no problem discussing right to light or right of way or support but finding it somewhat difficult to make recommendations for reform. Also found this aspect difficult when asked for comments on reform regarding adverse possession...

Feeling for everyone doing contract it's a nightmare but hoping for a nice straightforward paper for you all.

It's only early - a lot can be done in one night when you know you have no other choice - power through!!!

I needed this hahaha

Hoping the contract examiner doesn't mind all the "an advertisement for hens was held to be an invitation to treat in another case I can't remember the name of" that she's going to be seeing in my paper tomorrow!

Reduced property now down to
Finding
AP
Co ownership
Easements
Family property
Succession

Could not be dealing with Landlord Tenant and leaving out land reg

awsah

yes come on now guys, we can do it, we are over the hill now and on the home stretch!!

Looking at the comments here, it seems like a lot of us are in the same boat for contract tomorrow.

I sat three last week and focused all my attention on them thinking they were harder. Neglected contract thinking it wasn’t as bad as the others but I’m lost for tomorrow now!

Good luck to everyone sitting.

Hoping for some nice straightforward questions and lenient marking.

Same, when I look over the papers there is such a mix, most I can only answer half of each of the questions. I'm at the stage I don't even know if I should sit it tomorrow.

This is honestly the worst time. I hate the lead up to exams but power though!! You should defo sit it, you are after putting time into it and after paying for the exam so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. The paper may be perfect for what you have studied and it could be your best exam yet so try not to stress too much. You got this!
