FE1 Exam Thread (Read 1st post!) NOTICE: YOU MAY SWAP EXAM GRIDS

RandolphEsq

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.

Griffith revision <s>grind>/s> seminar said that based on an analysis of past papers the only stuff you can really cut is :

*Offences Against the State--never examined,
*Infanticide, Suicide & Killing of an Unborn Life --examined only once, in 2005
*Sources of Criminal Law--never examined
*Summary disposal of offences and Trial on Indictment
*"Ordinary" courts system

I'd reccomend having at least a notion, ie read the chapter at least once, for your general knowledge if nothing else but they are never or almost never examined. Apart from these there's not that much that one can really cut completely. The exam has a large number of problem questions which tend to mix multiple offences with different defences and maybe issues surrounding Actus Reus or Mens Rea

Out of interest, do they give exam predictions at those Griffith College seminars?

Thanks clocks!!! I'm finding it really difficult to try and retain everything... at least with others you can eliminate some parts of the syllabus. But going on past exam papers anything could pop up anywhere! do you happen to know the essay questions that came up last time around as perhaps its unlikely for the same essay to appear two years running? I wonder how much detail is expected of these exams? I have been putting off doing them for 3 years because they just seem impossible!

Hi, is there anybody that would be able to advise of the essay questions that appeared on the last sitting of the Criminal Law FE1 exam? Anyone else finding it really difficult to learn this entire syllabus, it seems that pretty much nothing can be left out!! Any advise on what could possibly be left out??

Hi, does anybody have an up to date tort grid or knows the topics that came up in the last sitting? Thanks in advance!

I am tempted to start a new 'FE1 whinge' thread where we can whinge all day about burnout, fatigue, dread and procrastination without clogging up this very worthwhile thread.

s.409 - All charges must be registered, fixed or floating, to be enforceable versus the liquidator...I think

Think you're right, although the Act doesn't mention fixed and floating, it does say "every charge...". Unless, anyone else thinks otherwise...

Thanks

In company law, can anyone just confirm for me that registration of charge is only required for floating charges? Not required for fixed.

Jotted this down in a lecture but cannot find it in the book now and not sure if I took it down wrong or not...

Would someone be able to explain very generally what changes the marriage act 2015 have had on family property for purposes of property exam? When answering a question on same sex couples how does this alter the answer?
Thanks

Can someone please explain what this unlimited capacity in corporate contracts as brought in by the CA 2014 is? Or please point me in the right director with any article or case? Super confused and stressing out!

Further to the above reply, the difference is that prior to the 2014 Act, a company could only engage in business that was directly related to its objects - the document setting out what the company was about. Any act purported to be done by a company outside its objects was said to be ultra vires the company and could be set aside. (Then you have all of the Bell Houses stuff with independent objects clauses and that...)

Under the 2014 Act, such restrictions no longer exist in relation to company types that have unlimited capacity. Nothing that could be lawfully done by another person can be said to be ultra vires the company. So, a company that ostensibly is for the running and management of a sweet shop could also engage in hedge funds management, in theory. I think I read that the purpose of this change is to prevent people from unwittingly entering agreements with companies that do not have the capacity to enter such agreements and lose out as a result, should the things done by the company on foot of the agreement later be set aside.

All of the above said, it is clearly absurd to have a company that has a de facto objective, such as selling sweets, also running high-risk investment strategies, so it will be interesting to see what happens when the point is inevitably litigated.

I had suggested in a previous post that this is an area that could well be examined because of the dominance of the UV doctrine in Company Law matters previously. I don't think it will just go away.

Anymore trying to cut down criminal? Seems difficult to leave anything out with the number of elements each question can contain!

in practice, the CLS will no longer have an Objects Clause, and therefore, no boundaries that it can go beyond unlawfully. The relevant section provides that a company “shall have full and unlimited capacity” to carry on and undertake any business activity, do any act, or enter into any transaction.

I'm doing the same but haven't put half enough effort into exam technique and planning.

The procedural aspects tend to come up a fair bit in the form of an "advise your client" question. Usually there is 2 parts of the 3 Arrest, Detention and Bail.

It's a bit harder to say about the reus: they are obviously important topics in Criminal Law...There's a chance of an essay question entirely on one, but more likely there will be at least one problem question, possibly more, than features elements of either the AR or MR.

What do people think about property offences ? They seem to come up infrequently and not in too much detail

Great, really helpful, thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Hey guys,

For Company, I am covering (well trying/struggling to) the following:

(1) Borrowing
(2) Directors
(3) Corp Authority
(4) Share Transfer
(5) Shareholder Protection
(6) Restriction
(7) SLP
(8) Incorporation

Am I leaving myself too short by not covering 1 or 2 more topics? Could anybody recommend another topic or two i could add to my above list? I was going to cover Realisation of Corporate Assets but that seems unlikely as it was on on the last paper. Also, Ultra Vires seems unlikely to arise too as a result of the new Act.

Thanks.

I'm doing the same except instead of incorporation I'm doing winding up (which I have yet to finish my notes on)

You're right I might leave out mortgages and learn a note on equity. Just panicking as I'm leaving out l and t and thinks it's too late to pick it up at this stage!

Ya there is very little on Tracing and there is like 4-5 key cases in which one could easily cover!

Can anyone with a new manual for company list out the statutory numbers in the 2014 act for statutory exceptions to the corporate veil. Just the relevant section numbers. Pretty please!

While succession did appear twice on the last paper. it wasn't two full questions. One of the succession questions was just a part of a question (I think with three parts).

I'm leaving out l and t and just prepared essays on mortgages and land registration. Does anyone think that is too risky?
