Hi there,

I can't get my head around the situation between tenants and sqautters in relation to a lease and the cases of Fairweather v St Marylebone Property Co. Ltd and Perry v Woodfarm Homes Ltd. If someone who understands this could briefly summarise this situation in plain English it would be greatly appreciated!

Hope everyone's study is going good.

Can anyone give me Val Corbett's tips for tort? He's usually on the money (not that it helped me the last time )
It'd be much appreciated.

If you squat on a leasehold title and oust the lessee, you get his title - ie the leasehold interest. Essentially all you CAN get is his title, when you think about it. Once, and indeed if, you reach the end of the leasehold period the lessor can still claim the reversionary interest, unless you squat adverse to him for another twelve years and thus acquire the freehold. That's the bones of it.

The difficult question is covenants, is the squatter bound by them?

If you have time, look up Una Woods' article(s) on it on Westlaw.

Hey all, Im new to the thread, just wondering would anyone have a record of the Qs that came up in Contract Law in the March 2011 and October 2011 sittings?
If anyone needs contract or EU GCD notes or past papers or anything like that let me know, unfortunately mine only go up to 2010 and it'd be really handy to know what the recent papers for Contract have been like.
Thanks a lot!

Think it is now two years that my social life has been ruined. Hopefully my social life will be just ruined by Blackhall place instead of the FE1s this time next year Anyone know what kind of marker the tort examiner is? I usually just get 50 in these exams? Negligence is so time consuming - nearly thinking of dropping it at this point.

I'm of the same opinion re negligence but im frightened i wont have enough covered if i dont do it so ill have to push on with it..
it's starting to confuse me now along with everything else, like how much of the negligence principles should we be bringing into questions that are on other areas like economic loss for instance..
I have 5 exams got so far and for some reason this one is really getting to me, I probably havnt covered enough of the course and the subject just isn't clicking with me!
Would give me right arm for val corbetts predictions right now! (although that might cause a bit of difficulty on Tuesday!)

I have a bro-in-law who is a Dub. I asked him to suss out someplace for me to live in the D7 area. The answer I got was 'there's four good pubs within a three-minute walk of Blackhall Place. There's traditional music in one of them on a wednesday night - you'll be grand'. Big help that was.:rolleyes:

Hi,
Im sitting tort on Tuesday which i have never studied before so won't be able to even attempt any questions as i have only studied for the other 3 i am sitting. please tell me i won't be the only person just sitting there for 45mins with nothing to write! People do this regularly just to satisfy the 4 exam rule on first attempt yes?!

First off, you posted this after 3 am - get some sleep, you can't be doing late hours like that this week Next - nothing wrong with your tactics, lots of people here have sat in for a 'sacrificial fourth' including me. Simply view it as a tactical move, if you get your first three it'll be a good move for you. Don't let it get you down, make a plan to treat yourself to an 'I love me' stop on the way home, maybe even just a cappucino in the Red Cow after you leave the exam room.

Hi All,

Really starting to panic as think I've tried to cover too much for Company and now worried I haven't left myself enough time for learning. Does anyone have an axam grid for company they could send me? Or tips on what might come up? Would really appreciate it- you'd be saving me from a mental breakdown!

Thanks

Hi,

I rang the law society during the week- you can highlight and underline but no writing. Also, you can tab but no writing on the tab- so maybe just colour code!

Thanks,

Hi guys

Happy St. Paddy's Day! I am postponing wearing my green hat and orange beard until the 28th - the only thought getting me through today!

Just wondering, does anyone have any advice/tips/know-how as to how to recognize in problem questions when the issue is vicarious liability as opposed to employer's liability? knowing me, it is something simple but for the life of me, it just won't click!

Correct me if im wrong - but a question on employers liability is mixed in with vicarious liability.(after all an employer who is found liable for a employee = vicarious liability no???One asks the question: Is the person an employee? and the other question is about whether the damage was in the course or scope of that employment? ie if you work for hertz and crash the car on a test drive mon afternoon opposed to crashing the car on the way back to a party on Paddys night after watching the Irish get hammered beyond belief by England... sorry gotta make the example remotely interesting - getting bored with law & fe1s and feel like becoming a pilot or something else more exciting now!

I get confused with R v F and nuisance but RvF is more about smells odours etc i think and Nuisance is more to do with physical escapes such as oil etc.... i think - not doing that question as yet so prob got that ass ways
Perhaps im oversimplifying it?

Awfull Lawfull

Nothing like abit of sun shining in on you,while you read and reread company notes :cool: Ten days untill freedom and believe me im counting !

Directors - could get a possible 2/3 qs
Shareholder protection / remedies

That's all I got!!! Best of luck

Last year I saw a lot of people with the sections written on tabs, they must have changed the rules...Pain in the @ss!!!
Time spent having to look through book is time wasted!!!

Is anyone enrolled in Equity at City Colleges? Would ye have a copy of that Exam Review Document that Philip gave out at the tutorial. Its not on Moodle anywhere. Bloody annoying.

I've never seen so much reticence on this thread with the official tips/predictions/educated guesses/forecasts/wtf from the various prep colleges as is blatantly evident this time. I've said it here before - we are all aiming for the magic 50%, the FE1s are threshold exams, not a competitive exercise. It doesn't hurt to be helpful and cooperative, not to mention collegial, given that we all aspire to become professional colleagues sooner or later. I don't think I've seen a single post on any subject this time advising of what has been tipped.

-aboutagirl-

I'm enrolled for EU & Constitutional but wasn't given any 'tips' - more just told to cover as much as the course as possible. So I've just been using grids & my own guesses to whittle down the material!

I agree it's good to share info - preventing other people from using info I have isn't going to help me do any better! I posted up the list of cases discussed at Carolan's Constitutional talk last month. Would definitely welcome any hints anyone else has at this stage!

je77rey

Anyone have any sample tort answers? I have constitutional, criminal and contract that I can swap.

I think it is just that there are less people doing the exams this time round. Also, if I were starting to do these exams or Kings Inns entrance this year- I would choose Kings Inns - so much easier - finished faster and then at the end of it, if the Minister for Justice is serious - the profession will be merged within the next few years.

I got caught out last time by not having enough covered so I am trying to cover as much as is physically poss. this round, I don't find company as easy to cut topics out of as some of the others.. think I'm going in with 'a little about a lot' which may not be the best approach though...

I agree with what JC said, seemed to be a lot more sharing of info/tips last sitting, but I assume there are diff people posting and each sitting my number is getting lower..
