Is Personal Liberty something that could be safely left out for Constitutional? Looks like it never comes up.

Anything else?

Personal Liberty was a full question last sitting, highly doubt it would reappear again.

Does anyone know what came up on the tort paper in October?

I have an up to date constitutional grid. Willing to swap for a company exam grid

Hey guys,
I was revising remedies and one of the examiner reports said "Many candidates are not putting across either the traditional four rules or reflecting the case-law developments in the last decade in any coherent fashion."

I just wanted to ask if this could be referring to anything other than the Dunlop case?

Thanks

KerrieAS

Oh and also, can anyone share which topics they are focussing on for Contract and Equity?

My materials are a couple of years old and the lecturers are advising certain topics based on trends in the past papers, but as they are not up to date I haven't relied on that advice.

Hi guys,

Does anyone have any ideas of what can (possibly) be left out for Criminal and Property? For Property I'm basically working backwards from the end of the manual..apart from Treasure Trove.

I am perhaps leaving myself short, but doing

Adverse possession
Succession
Easements
Landlord and Tenant Law
Co-ownership

I was covered with these on the Autumn paper but didn't pass 3 . In retrospect I have been leaving myself a bit short : there's no certainity of a question on easements or landlord and tenant, for example. Questions on land registration seem to be fairly straightforward descriptions of the system

sophiehatter

For equity, if you were to leave out one of:

estoppel
rescission
rectification
specific performance

Which would be best to leave out? Thanks!

For constitutional I have : oireachtas, courts, personal rights, property rights, due course of law, amending the constitution, separation of powers, freedom of expression, family, judicial review, findings of unconstitutionality, equality and abortion. Surely that's ok? I know I've cut a bit already but there's so much to it

I have done so far Separation of Powers, Due course of Law, Personal Rights, Property Rights, Family & Education, Proportionality and Right to Silence/Jury.

Plan to definitely add Equality, Judicial Review, Findings of unconstitutionality and Oireachtas

On the fence whether to look at Freedom of Expression (full essay question last year), inviolability of dwelling (recent Fortune case) and Religious Freedoms

makemecrazy

Question on Findings is Property; what significance is there of finding an item in a mind? Please advise on any case, law, article that helps

For Criminal, what are people doing? Is it worth leaving anything out?

stilk08

I'm doing everything but the last chapter on bail, courts, right to silence etc. It seems that that chapter comes in at most 2 questions every year so you can leave it out and still have a choice. I'm gonna do everything else though as the questions can involve so many issues, ie several offences and defences in one qs

legalease2172

anyone be so kind as to tell me what came up on the last constitutional paper? Many thanks

Hey lads, just looking for a bit of guidance for EU. I've chosen the following if anyone thinks sections can be left out or topics needed to be added:

Institutions
Sources of EU law
Supremacy/Direct effect
MS liability
Union citizenship
FMG
FMS/FOE/FMW/FME
Competition

Reckon competition is a dead cert in at least one if not two questions after being left out in October. Any advice as to the rest would be greatly appreciated

Kcookies2015

Q1 - Freedom of Expression
Q2 - Propert Rights/Limiting Balancing Rights/ Ins of the State ( AG etc)
Q3 - Personal Rights
Q4 - Religious freedom
Q5 - Personal Liberty Both 4 & 5 ( Separation of powers)
Q6 - Family & Education
Q7 - Right to Silence/Trial by Jury/Art 38.1
Q8 - Constitutional Interpretation

I think thats right going by the grids : )

My house has never been so clean....and I got lots of pretty stationary....so, that's a start :eek:

Random qs....haven't gotten the luas to the red cow before for the exams as I've driven usually. Is there a walkway to and from? Is it far? Thanks.

Also in the same boat. I can't stomach driving around the M50 and trying to get across Junction 9 to the Long Mile slip road again:rolleyes: Plus I always have to end up driving out ridiculously early! I've been told it's only a 5 minute walk from the hotel.

Anyone getting the luas, DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE STRIKE ON THE 8TH MARCH IF YOU HAVE AN EXAM THAT DAY!

lawgal

This might be a stupid question but in property what does one answer for the rights and responsibilities of cohabitation re property rights and responsibilities of joint tenants as co-owners re property? This is co-ownership ya? Talk about confused!!

Scarymary13

Hi guys, there is a walk way from the luas stop in to the Red Cow car park

Lawgal, there is no such thing as a stupid question! It does sound to be a co-ownership question- right to possess and alienate which in regards to joint tenancy would include a discussion of severance if I am right.

Please correct me if I am wrong

Do you people think I should update the thread title or something to mention this?

Yes, definitely. especially since it is a Tuesday. The strikes usually happen on a Thurs/Friday so people might not be aware.

What other way is there out to red cow on 8th March is luas is on strike?

I'm pretty sure the Number 13 bus goes out to it? But you'd need to leave yourself plentyof time as buses will be jammed because of the strike.

corkres1989

does anybody know about any intense 1 day courses coming up?

dashdoll

Wondering if there are any topics that can be pretty safely left out of the Tort course?

Looking at the grid here.

Defective Premises
Fatal Injuries
State Liability
Defences
Concurrent wrongdoers

These never seem to come up going by the grid.

The course is so wide..really hoping to cut out a few more topics. ��
