I was planning on leaving it out because it is so long. But I have noticed that in examiner reports it has been commented on how badly it is often answered? Which may be an indication that they will examine it again? I also read on fe1stopshop Instagram page that a girl had been to a seminar given by the new(ish) examiner and he said he was planning on examining a wide breadth of topics because he doesn't like people cutting down on topics and leaving full topics out. That being said, I don't have time to change any of my topics or do anymore so I am just hoping for the best and studying 8 topics 😳
for tort, in a question involving public authority liability - how do you know whether to refer to cases in the negligence chapter (re their operational activities) or the stand alone public authority chapter?
Just putting it out there again, if anyone has copy of examiner reports from March and October 2020, would be very grateful :)
Has anyone any experience with the Tort Lecturer and what he is like as a marker?
Would anyone have the examiners report for property for Oct 2021? Thanks a mil!
I spoke with the law society today and they haven’t been released yet!
Has anybody any tips for equity or criminal ? TIA
Oh okay thank you!
Would anyone have a rough idea what questions were on what topics for property in Oct 2021? Thanks a mil!!
Constitution
I’m thinking about leaving out constitution interpretation and going for AG & President question. Think it might be due a run?
Hey folks, finished up last sitting but only getting around to posting now. Iv a Constitutional and EU manual to give away. I also have examiners reports for those two and Contract. Theyr a few years old now so not looking for money for them. If someone wants them shoot me a message. Not posting them so if someone wants them theyd have to collect. Im based in D1. Not posting them.
He's fairly sound IMO. I sat i October and I had 4 fairly good answers but made a balls of one and answered on NS when the answer should have been on IIES. Still passed comfortably with 59. I remember someone else on here before the last sitting saying they had a similar situation and passed too. One of the fairer examiners I think.
does anyone know if we will have a practice online exam or if they’ll send out emails on how to download the software etc?
Yeah I agree with the above. His papers can be tricky, but he is generous with marks, so I wouldn't get too bogged down if you're confused by some of the questions. Like that, I only knew 4 topics on the paper and some of the questions were hard. Had to answer a 5th question on product liability which I hadn't studied at all. I literally wrote 3/4 of a page on duty of care etc. and what I thought was common sense not law or any way backed up by same, and I got 8/20 for that miserable attempt. Got me over the line with 52%!
had him in college and sat the tort paper last year. have to agree with others, he's actually one of the fairer ones I think. Answered 3 questions well and 2 fairly short 700ish word ones and still got 59. Good spread of questions on the paper and its not shocking hard to predict.
They were all essays
Does anyone know if when you're tabbing your legislation with index markers if you're allowed to write the section on each marker? Or do they have to be completely blank as well? TIA.
Company or tort predictions? TIA
Totally agree - he's a very nice marker. I wrote a whole Causation question on the Duty of Care and still came out with 56%. Genuinely laughed when i saw that i passed it. Best of luck - you'll be fine :)
EQUITY:
Hi All. Would love opinions on whether i'll have enough topics to get 5 questions on the Equity Exam:
Mandatory Interlocutory was examined last sitting - am i mad to leave it out or.....? Any advice on replacements / additions would be great.
What are people covering for Criminal? anyone think its safe to leave out property offences?
Hi everyone, I would like to encourage you to watch my video about FE1 Exams, Contract Law, Auctions and Tenders. Enjoy!!!
i just checked my emails from the october sitting and the practice exam could be accessed from the 23rd to 27th of September and i think my first one was the 5th of october so id say it will probably be the first week of march before we hear more. open to correction though if anyone has been in contact!
What are people covering for Company or leaving out?
I'm not wholly sure what to leave out but hoping to cover:-
Directors duties
Restriction
shareholders rights/remedies/oppression
SLP/Incorporation
winding up
corporate borrowing/charges
and maybe corporate authority/ governance
S.31 Contract
Corporate veil/ SEE
Authority of Corporate Agents
Ultra Vires
Director's duties
Borrowing
Receivership
Examinership
Winding up
Striking off and Restoration
is there anything else that people think is a must for company?
As far as I know nothing can be written on... not 100% sure but I'd stick with the unmarked tabs and highlighting just in case. You could colour code the tabs based on topic to make it easier to find them in the rush of the exam?
I would say that Examinership and Receivership wouldn't be all that necessary.
SLP should probably be added
As should Shares
Hey guys, I heard back from the LawSoc.
They are fusing PPC1/2 together from September 2022. It will now be from Sep - July. They sent me a brochure if anyone is interested (attached)
