Could someone please tell me how do I know when Art 30 or Art 110 applies? Stressfull stuff

legallywrecked

I can't say for sure but I expect you could probably hold your place on the course until the results and pay then but they wouldn't give access to the lectures or materials until you paid.

Again, can't say for definite would be worth emailing the office but from past dealings with online courses in colleges I'd expect it's that way!

Article 30 applies if the charge applies when they cross a border or frontier, easiest way to differentiate

For EU tomorrow I have the following covered;

Direct/Indirect Effect
Institutions (not very well)
Freedom of Establishment/Freedom to Provide Services
Competition 101 and 102
Equality
Supremacy
Art 267
FMOG
Citizenship
Free Movement of Workers

I know I'm lacking a good few but is there anything glaringly lacking that I should try cover quickly?

thanks a mill

Did ye say that Monica's original will was valid?

** Did coownership too but screwed up the commorientes part oops hopefully won't be too bad as it's only half the question eek!! I think it was valid unless the witnesses had their backs turned helping the other patient when Joey signed as it must be in the line of sight or they must have the opportunity to see it?


did you discuss revocation of the will?

Yep cheese v lovejoy !

For Equity I have covered the following:
Injunctions
Anton Pillar Order & Mareva Injunctions
Charitable Trusts
Specific Performance
Rectification
Undue Influence
Secret Trusts
The Three Certainties
Trusteeship
Promissory & Proprietary Estoppel

Is this enough - I know I've left out Constructive Trusts & Resulting Trusts but should I be safe with the above or would anyone recommend anything else?

I've heard rumours of the ordinary legislative procedure. Maybe a quick read...orginally co-decision procedure, introduced by maastrict to counter criticism there was a democratic deficit in EU...gives parliament power to veto.. covered in the legislation when your really stuck ... could be a handy fifth question 😊

I think Brexit might make a question on democratic deficit more likely

Can anyone give me a hand on the principal of conferral?

If asked a general essay question about it i'm not sure what exactly you are expected to discuss. I know what conferral is, that the EU can only act within powers given to it by MSs. So does that mean you are to talk generally on the chapter on sources of law, the legal basis for legislation, catch all articles, effect of lisbon regarding criminal law etc? Or would a question on conferral be expected to discuss competences governed by principles of subsidiarity?

I don't think so if you have a good selection of other topics. I'm leaving out injunctions, I know it means I'm down to a choice of 7 questions but I really don't like it.

I don't know what to leave out I want to leave out injunctions and constructive but worried if they both come up and injunctions can come up twice I'd be in trouble then

I'm doing the same pretty much, just leaving out Mareva and doing Express Trusts instead of Secret Trusts!

Haha yep - I'm reading it and I feel like I get it but then I've forgotten it all a few chapters later... I'm just trying to retain the main cases for different topics and hoping to get by on that. Only saving grace is that it's my last one

So overwhelmed 🙈 have you much left out?

Left out free movement of workers, services, establishment and capital and might as well have left out mergers and private international law - probably risky but at this stage...

Bit late to do charitable trusts now isn't it? So much in it plus I have plenty other topics covered

if you wrote just 10 lines on each heading religion.poverty.education and other gifts benefit the community you would have a fair idea what the topic is about if forced to write something about it just go straight to the headings and skip the act I'd say

It's actually a very doable topic - if you have time to take an hour to cover it do.

You just need to know the 4 recognised types of charitable trusts the fact that Trusts for Sports, Tourism or Politics are not charitable, the case law is also quite easy to remember.

But if you feel you have enough covered - as I said I'm leaving out Resulting and Constructive trusts. No point attempting to learn something if it simply won't go into your head. Good luck.

Gunslinger92

Hmm okay I might go over it! Thanks guys. I am also leaving out constructive and resulting trusts :pac: doing secret trusts and express trusts

Yep same - Secret Trusts, Strong V Bird & DMC.

Can anyone clarify - would a question on mandatory injunctions (such as different tests/judicial divergence) would this typically invite students to include employment injunctions?

In college we focused a lot on employment injunctions and I am just wondering do they slip into the answer on mandatory interlocutory injunctions? Thanks.

Yeah you definitely could include it - the courts are reluctant to grant mandatory injunctions for personal service! - more likely this could be asked in a specific performance question though!

Can anyone explain the importance of inconsistency in secret trusts to me? It's only a tiny paragraph in my manual but I'm just not getting what it's saying :pac:

How did people find EU?

For the competition law question 8A, I wrote about Agreement Concertrd practice and decision. However, I mixed it all up.

I wrote what I learned for concerted practice under then heading decision and then incorrectly waffled on a bit for for decision as I couldn't remember information on that. It should be clear I mixed the concerted practice bit up. Basically I kept using the word decision for concerted practice when what I was discussing was clearly a concerted practice. I wonder will I get marks for this part of the question or be graded out of 4.5/5, given the only correct information in it refers to what an agreement is?

So annoyed at myself. What did I look at my notes after the exam??!!

Thats always kind of confused me. My understanding of it is that it relates to half secret trusts only and if there is inconsistencies between when the will says communication took place and when communication actually took place and if these both arent the same then the secret trust fails.

You will definitely get some marks. Don't stress. I passed company and constitutional with three good answers ..like good. .not excellent...and two absolutely clutching at straws questions with no case law. Not joking. You never know what way these go.

iI don't know why but when I looked at the art 30 and 34 question it was as if i never seen anything like it before..I got all confused despite having studied this chapter quite well. It's funny what lack of sleep can do.

How did people answer this question?

I thought the citizenship question was tough.

Could you provide a little more context? I'm not sure "inconsistency" is a term of art.

Do you mean the inconsistency between what it says on the face of the will and the trust instrument ?

In Re Keen on the will the testator stated that he would provide the details of the trust to the trustee during his lifetime. He handed the trustee an envelope containing the details but told the trustee not to open the envelope until after his death.

After his death the trustee received the full details of the trust by opening the envelope.The will stated the trustee would know this during the testators lifetime - which he did not - he only found out the details of the trust after the testators
death.

Although the communication was effective. It was inconsistent with the will.
