Equity tomorrow. What are people predicting/hoping for with injunctions. I would like some sort of essay on Campus Oil principles and deviation from them or an essay on Anton Piller, Marevas.

Finding tort like trudging through mud.. Keep thinking I'm finished making notes and then I think I need to learn something else! On a whim, have summed up what I am doing:

Negligence (to include nervous shock)
Duty of Care
Professional Negligence
Employer's Liability
Vicarious Liability
Product Liability
Defamation
Nuisance
Trespass to Person
Occupier's Liability
Defences
Limitations of Actions
Maaaaaybe Passing Off

Thoughts from people who have previously sat it/ are studying for it this time around? Anything else I'm majorily missing or have I enough?

I'm not starting to panic, you're starting to panic.

I'm probably just going stupid from the size of the course I'm currently going through exam papers and can't seem to find mention of the Pringles case in the manual. I presume it's in there somewhere?

Sorry, can't help you with that yet. I'm only on Lecture 5 so haven't come across it yet! It's taking me forever to watch these.

Actually disgraceful the amount they are charging and can't even produce a coherent manual. Still watching the lectures at the moment for Constitutional and can't say I'm finding it very easy to follow compared to other subject either. Hopefully it will improve.

It's brutal. Pretty sure some of it is edited wrong and certain paragraphs are in the wrong place too!

Do you know what they are probably right. I never really use the legislation in the exams anyways!

Maybe if you utterly blank on the day of the exam, having already learned off the gist of the legislation, then having it tabbed and highlighted might just trigger your memory in relation to the case law that you would cite.

like a security blanket but less snuggly

Finding it particularly difficult to get motivated when I should really be picking up the pace at this stage. Thank god I started a little early or I would have nothing done at all! Is anyone else having difficulty focusing?

Definitely one to ask the Law Society.

I asked the Law Society same Q. I have the Company Law Act 2014 (published by Bloomsbury for Arthur Cox) there is no additional commentary etc only difference seems to be the front cover saying Arthur Cox, I told the Law Society this and even attached pictures.

However, the Law Society replied:

"The only books permitted into the exam are the books from our Permitted Legislation list. They must be the original publication."

Hi guys, hope the study is going well.

Is anyone else finding it particularly hard to study for constitutional? The subject just seems vast and I feel like I could spend the next three weeks just doing that and not be finished in time. Is the examiner quite particular about have the most recent up to date developments and case law, or if you know the main precedents in an area you would be ok?

I have such a block about this subject, and its my last exam so expecting it to be a bad one!

fionnsci

I'm struggling with the vastness of Constitutional, are there any topics that I can leave out? I've seen people list the topics they are doing but they often contradict and it's hard to ascertain an consensus on the least important subjects.

The same goes for Company to a lesser extent if anyone can help.

Much appreciated.

Can anyone tell me when doing Equity and in particular Specific Performance if it is worth leaving out Doctrine of Part Performance or should I learn it in detail? Defences and Contracts for Personal Services seem the most likely or does anyone know if it has come up before? Thanks

kd2121

I'm working off an older manual for Property and was wondering if anyone could tel me if there are any huge changes that I should know about following the same sex marriage referendum?

dashdoll

Does anyone happen to have a list of the topics that were asked in the Oct 2015 exams in Tort and Constitutional? I haven't got these papers yet.

Thanks!

Could somebody please shed some light on the issue that I’m STILL having with last October's Tort paper . . .I scraped a pass in it last time round but failed to get my magic three so this is second time round for me! I'm still having trouble identifying the relevant issues in questions 3 and 8! I think question 8 falls under employers’ liability for occupational injury. Question 3 is really throwing me. . .is it vicarious liability involving a “frolic”? I would really appreciate any guidance on these two questions!

Literally only starting to study today properly for Criminal EU Constitutional and Company in March. I'm such an idiot. I passed four in October and I don't know what has been wrong with my I just had such a blank towards studying. No sense of urgency at all and I still don't feel panicked. God knows they will be disastrous but hey! Imma jus gone roll with the punches!!! ha

Hows Everybody, doing two this time around, equity and criminal had planned on doing constitutional but time constraints and I dint want to heap too much pressure on myself.
How are people feeling about equity?
Im familiar from studying with injunctions, resulting and constructive trusts, tracing, secret trusts, rescission ,rectification and equitable estoppal (seems unlikely this will come i think).
Im fairly happy with this however I may see if I can cover purpose trusts as well.
I have studied very little criminal and only picked it because it seems to be one of the topics people prefer. What are peoples assessment on the criminal fe1 exam and are there topics that one should really concentrate on?

There seems to be alot.....
Sop, trial in due course, expression, equality, livelihood, reform & referend, privacy, fair procedures, family & ed, bodily integ,......
Is a case note q likely?

Im at a loss as to what to concentrate on....
Also how much detail/little detail in answers get you over the line...50%.
Im afraid I won't have time to know great detail!
Out of interest. ..how many topics/qs (learn off/good knowledge off) do people learn per day.... I feel its going very slow for me!
