Hey,

Would it be crazy to leave out Consumer Protection for contract. I have yet to look at the chapter and the thought of another technical statutory legislation heavy topic is killing my motivation.

Plus I don't have the acts yet.

Cheers for any reply

Yes get the acts and you ll be OK with it easy topic if u have the acts

Edit: Had a look at the paper again (I know I should be moving on). It says on the question to "discuss this statement". Not saying people who just spoke about dervivative actions were wrong but clearly the examiner was leaving it open to us to disagree with the statement.

Look, the whole legal system here is based on the unassailable fact that lawyers disagree with each other, so from that point of view, you can interpret the law in that area any number of ways. The point of the question aside from testing your understanding of the area and the principles is to see what kind of argument you come up with and that it's appropriate backed up.

It sounds like you did just that.

Cover it all it seems, murder, sexual offences, complicity in offences and defences seem particulary important but tbh everything is important unfortunately for this exam.

There is no legislation allowed in for Criminal; you have to learn it.

Criminal Law:

In relation to being an accessory to a crime, are you as criminally liable as the perpetrator?

So in the question below, Ray aided in the crime as he provided the security codes, knew of the nature of the crime, party to a common design.

Ray worked in a famous jewellery store in Limerick. He was known to be a 'soft touch'. Over a period of
time, Jimmy, the leader of a local gang, befriended Ray. This was very exciting for Ray who discovered
that the more he 'hung out with Jimmy, the more people began to treat him with respect’. Ray knew
that Jimmy was a gang member, but he liked the attention that it brought him.
One evening Jimmy asked Ray to provide him with the codes to enter the jewellery shop. Jimmy told
him that he wanted to pull off a large heist at the jewellers, and that Ray was ideally placed to help. Ray
138
refused, but quickly relented when he realised how unhappy this made Jimmy. He really wanted to
please his 'new friend' and he also was very fearful of him. Jimmy had a reputation for 'disposing' of
persons who did not comply with his wishes.

Ray provided the security codes. He also left the door of the safe open for Jimmy and the other gang
members on a specified evening. Using the security codes, Jimmy and three other gang members
entered the jewellery shop and stole jewellery to the value of €600,000. They were discovered however
by vigilant Gardaí as they exited the premises. When arrested, all four were discovered to possess
various weapons. Though Ray knew that the gang were going to enter the premises on the night in
question, nobody had told him that they would be carrying weapons.
Advise Ray on his possible criminal liability
