Really starting to consider the fact that its just not for me…not meant to be

Chin up Lawbear, I was convinced I failed Company last sitting and I was so shocked to see I had passed. You truly never know. Give yourself a break, this is a very painful, stressful, not to mention work-intensive labour of love. You will get there!

I had a mental breakdown sunday night and nearly didnt make the equity exam! Took my partner hours to talk me down and become a reasonable fully-functioning human again. It is most definitely a huge mental challenge. The information is almost secondary at this stage!

And if one more person asks me "If you pass these exams are you a solicitor then?" No am not I still have to work for peanuts for the next 2years and give the law society the guts of €20k then am a solicitor!!!

Rant over!

One positive about the whole this is I can safely assume that we have all reached the "I couldn't give a flying F**K anymore" stage.

Most the EU questions need a translation. You know a topic well enough and then look at a past Q and don't have a clue that they relate...

I always smile when I remember that Cassis de Dijon, a seminal case in the Free movement of Goods, is between German parties, arguing about a German technical standard in a German Courthouse in German.

Has anyone looked at March 2012 Q.3 on Art 267? What other bodies except for the courts could fall under the definition of a court or tribunal to refer a question in Ireland to the ECJ?

Any examples?

Dutch case of Broekmeulen relating to appeals committee for general medicine was a tribunal.

In Broeckmeulen the court had to decide if an appeals committee for the dutch medical professional Body was a court or tribunal for the purposes of Art 267.

Despite the fact that Dutch law did not recognise the appeals committee as a court or tribunal, the European court ruled that the appeals committee was a court or tribunal for the purposes of european union law.

The reason for the courts decision was that the appeals committee operated with the consent and cooperation of the public authorities and that it delivered final decisions after an adversarial procedure from which there was no right of appeal to the ordinary courts.

If there is no right of appeal then thats a good indicator.

There is so much in competition ugh puke. Between the freedoms….goods, persons, capital, any of these favoured to come up? desperate here, need to cut big time.
