I honestly don't know what to focus on. I've most of the topics covered and just trying to read through all my notes and memorise case names and stuff like that.

I just really have some sort of feeling that I left something out or that there will be some sort of surprise paper tomorrow, really don't know what to expect.

Same as Chops reading round topics like a mad thing! Dono what could come up, with what other topic/issue I mightnt have covered. . with the result that I have an idea of the general jist but am learning off nothing!! I think there's gona be a lot of topics that wont feature in the usual way

Yeah that's exactly it - an overload of info. I wish I knew of a few bankers but the last few sets it seems even the negligence questions can be tricky.

In saying that I am finding that I am remembering at least the main cases for the bigger topics, but I still wouldn't be 100% sure on applying it to a tricky problem question.. too late for that now, just keep reading and follow the simple rules of spot the issue, state the law, apply to the facts move on, conclude etc.

Here's hoping for a nice paper tomorrow.

Best of luck guys!! For what its worth try and relax be confident in what ye have learnt... in saying that I wont lie I am worried about the paper, but trying to learn something in panic mode is useless!! Learnt that the hard way! Believe that the hard work is done and it will pay off!! I have read in some examiner report I think maybe constitutional that it is more important to have a few good cases explaining an argument than just listing cases with little or no relevance!

Good luck to you too..

Yeah I agree, I'm finding it hard to actually "study", I'm really just scanning over my notes and some answers trying to memorise the cases.

At least its not the ibis! now that is a kip! cheap as chips though! and the lighting there is pretty poor.. I think the bulb wattage must be 10-15 amp eco saver! I thought the lighting in the lamps in the red cow were good the last time unless they have changed?

Good luck today everyone. I hope the exam is nice, or that you get your 5 questions out of it. I'm not started until tomorrow but I woke up strangely calm. Gonna just read over my notes relax in the evening and have an early night.

Did you try the city colleges website? They usually have access to them there.

I think it was ok, still not sure.. I reckon I did a better paper than the last time in which I got 43. Here's hoping, I really want to be rid of Tort and these whole exams after this sitting.

What was question 3 about?

If I did the right issues then I've an excellent answer.... I discussed Psychiatric Damage, General Negligence (Duty of Care and Causation), and a small bit of Pure Economic Loss. I assumed they were the types of damage he was looing for?

Milkypops

I think i did an alright paper answered 5....stayed away from the nervous shock/economic loss question.

started the defective products questions and then went NO WAY!! it was a bit sticky....

Standard of Care coming up as a full question...i did it but that was a bit unexpected???

I didn't do the question myself but at first I thought psychiatric but then when he asked what damages I thought it was asking about general damages, punitive etc.

Was hard to know either way!

Was question 5 about the fire on rylands v fletcher??

Yeah I got 5 in too.. reckon I have 3 decent to good-ish answers, then 2 ok answers. So I hope it's enough.

I did the defective products one but only because I remembered all the cases for it, I was hazy on the legislation and the correct provisions but I hope it was still enough.

I was raging with Standard of Care..... such an easy question and I just blanked and remembered feck all.

I did the defective products question as a last resort. It was awful! Hopefully I did enough to get by

That's what I thought aswell, it could be about punitive damages etc. But surely he wouldn't go on about PD the way he did in that question, and it usually specifically asks about those types of damages. Checked some sample answers, it kind of does look like he was asking about actual damages.. absolutely raging, I hate saying this but hopefully whoever else done that question made the same mistake and he might mark it accordingly sometimes they do that.

Yeah 5 looked like R v F, if it was Nuisance I would have done it as it was only fresh in my mind from this morning.

i hope to faackk it was cos thats what i did it on hahah.....

the trespass question was a bit ****ty aswell wish they gave a problem question....i answered it and tried to give opinion but not necessarily a good one...

negligent misstatement was alright i thought....

standard of care got 3 pages hope its enough i had a few cases not many...

defamation was alright aswell....sickened i didnt pass last time with 45 cos i do think it was an easier paper ohwell onwards and upwards hahah
