When she first started working for Mat, Lucy received £20 per week. This was never increased. Over the years, Mat became increasingly dependant on Lucy for things that went above and beyond the role of housekeeper. Despite the fact that there was no conversation to this effect, Lucy claims that Mat had led her to believe that upon his death, Lucy would be entitled to the house or at the very least, she would have an unequivocal right to remain in it. Lucy stated that this was a mutual understanding between the parties. Mat has now died and has left all of his property to a loca charity. Lucy seeks your advice on whether she has a claim to any interest in the house."

The Fe1 exams are looking for a different calibre of answer than is required in the BCL examinations and the manuals are the best way of guiding you in the right direction. If you are looking to cut costs, save your money and look for used manuals for sale online.

I'm in final year BCL with pretty steady 1.1/2.1 grades and I'd love to get Company and a few others done this autumn. Thanks!

The key to passing the FE-1s is having loads of topics prepared for each exam. If you're trying to study using the books, it will be very hard to write a concise set of notes on a topic as the text books typically go into far too much detail for the FE-1s.....basically you would spend ages going through 30 pages on a topic when you could get the topic covered from 8 pages in a manual. It's simply a much more time efficient way to prepare and from my experience, time and getting enough topics covered are the biggest obstacles. The lectures aren't necessary at all but the manuals really are IMO. Get yourself on to Adverts.ie and pick up the manuals, past papers + reports and exam grids second hand....loads of people sell them.
