What's the general consensus on Contract? I thought it was fair, only one essay question again though. With the shopping center question I answered on best endeavors clauses, contractual interpretation and business efficacy/officious bystander tests. That was the only question that threw me really had to read over it a few times to see what they were asking and I'm not even sure I answered it on the right thing!
Well I hope the proctor people like cats because mine wouldn't feck off and was mad for the cuddles.
Could I leave out mergers for Eu?
Wow thanks! Where exactly did you see that?
You will do great, absolute best of luck!!!!
LS website says end of November.
S.12, 13, 14 & 15 apply to both consumer and non-consumer contracts. The only difference is in a non-consumer context you can contract out of the Act for all sections bar s.12.
God waiting around for the exam is torture
I showed it to the camera at the very start and gave a quick flick through to show there was no writing, but never showed it after that- it would waste so much time and you're not asked to do it so I wouldn't bother.
You don't even need to show it at the start, I just do for paranoia's sake.
When you're using your legislation do you have to show it to the camera? And if so, do you have to hold it up before using it each time? Using legislation in eu for the first time in these online sittings. Tia
Contract:
Hey! Any chance anyone has the examiner reports for Autumn 2020 and/or March 2021?
Can anyone sitting Contract tomorrow clarify which provisions of the Sale of Goods apply to non-consumer contracts? Reading over the March 21 paper earlier and the first question is clearly a Private Sale, but the examiner throws in 'Merchantable Quality. I have in my notes that s.14 of SOG 1980 only applies when the seller is in the course of business, so I wouldn't have gone into detail on that and just say it doesn't apply - was she just trying to throw us here?
If anyone has some short notes on this I'd appreciate it. My chapter on Consumer Protection in my manual says "many of the legislative provisions apply to non-consumers"... but it doesn't spell out which ones do and don't! Thanks :)
Random one but does anyone know anything about the Better Examinations system? I got kicked out today and had half my family in helping get the WiFi back on - I assume once the connection is lost so is the proctor? Don’t want it to go against me but I realise it’s prob just post exam overthinking 😂
In relation to my paper I did charitable trust question and said that the first one is education with Cy-pres doctrine (but perhaps I misunderstood that), second 4th category but with political element, so it won't be a valid charitable trust, the third one is for poor relations - I mentioned personal nexus test and that poor relations and poor employees were the exceptions but that the 2009 Act changed it.
I did Mandatory Interlocutory Injunctions essay. I did Undue Influence. After the exam I thought I did quite well those 3 questions but now I don't know. I did Trusteeship and re Standard of Care I wrote more than only re the investment. I did note question and mistaken one case re rectification. I did presumption of advancement. I hope I will pass because it is my last exam!!
Re Equity exam today. I don't know if I was too nervous and perhaps misunderstood it but did they say that the testator bequeathed 100,000 euro for poetry something WB. Unknown at the testator's death. I understood that it was Cy-pres doctrine. I see that nobody mentioned Cy-pres, so I suppose I'm wrong.
March was just over 7 weeks!
I remember it was 9 weeks last November but can’t remember what it was in March! Hopefully they put us out of our misery ASAP but unlikely knowing the law soc :p
By FR do you mean fundamental rights? Sorry my brain is fried!
Do you mind me asking what you are covering for principles? FR came up last sitting very dense so not sure if I want to go into too much detail
State aid and Competition v dense so it will be a v quick glance
im hoping for this too !!
I think it could be that essay on repudiatory breach / breach of condition / breach of innominate term but that’s a complete guess! Just because frustration has been up so much recently
what way do people think discharge is going to come up? any guesses?
I would imagine the last week in November possibly?
Usually 6 weeks, was delayed last year because of the exams being later and the 6 weeks running into Christmas!
Getting ahead of myself here but when do we think the results will be out?
I'm the same. Haven't even looked at state aid or 102 and that. May just glance over it, won't be studying it properly at this point I don't think
Yeah I obvious concentrated on duty to invest, the legislation and trust instruments and standard of care etc but touched on duty of appointment and she should familiarise herself with the trust, duty to keep accounts and safeguard assets, duty not to delegate but can seek help from advisor if the prudent man of business would do so to help with her investments and wasn't entirely sure if it was appropriate to do so this is, so reassuring to hear thanks.
March 2022 for Contract i'd say. I have such a mental block with it but look i might surprise myself???
Best of luck guys - i hope the prosecco is chilling in the fridge!
If March's Contract paper is anything to go by (7 PQs) I passed with very basic knowledge on the topics as opposed to a thorough knowledge.
I would have been fine if an essay came up for privity or capacity but I think I'd have struggled to write an essay on a particular topic as my knowledge wasn't there. But like I said, I passed - it can be done!
Oh same…
Going to have very basic knowledge for a few of my topics anyway!
Every time I see an actual list of what I should know by tomorrow morning, I actually die a little inside.
