I'm not doing it for FE-1s but I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion there hasn't been another world war because it would be far too much effort to do the paper work.

I hope they know what they've reduced us to! We should set up a new world where there are no laws (eu or otherwise) and hence nothing2 study!

im thinking joint account and quistclose trusts(note)

rectification and specific performance aswell (maybe together)

Im iffy that undue influence will come up, I think its due a break and it also came up in the Contract paper this sitting.

Mareva Injunctions with the case of Collins v Gharion being very recent aswell.

God Equity sucks

Any chance you could give me a quick note on the significance of Collins V Gharion decision for Mareva Injunctions?

Thanks a mil

Hi all,

Hope study going well.

Would anyone happen to have the question or wording of the question that came up for Mareva Injunctions in the Spring 2012 exam paper? It was an essay question. thanks

Thoughts on eu?

I ballsed up the free movement problem question and the problem on transparency and maybe preliminary reference procedure but otherwise it was ok no?

SeanPaul69

Thought eu was fair enough in terms of topics, some of the qs asked though were a bit challenging to answer properly...did transparency come and pr come up in that q?? I thought it was only direct effect, supremacy nd equivalence and effectivenesss

In recent years, the Irish Courts have begun to adopt a less restrictive approach to the requirement that a plaintiff seeking a mareva injunction must show that there is a real risk that the defendant will dispose of his or her assets for the purpose of preventing the plaintiff from recovering damages. This approach will help plaintiffs striving to recover large debts from debtors, making mareva injunctions a very real and powerful tool in debt recovery litigation.

Discuss the above, supporting your answer with reference to case law

I'm really hoping it's mareva injunctions coming up as a full question. Quia Timet maybe as a note question?

Yea I did transparency but I mentioned direct effect supremacy and equivalence and effectiveness too... It was a bit of a mess to be honest!

EU was ****e for me. I didn't do nearly enough prep on problem questions,and the essay qs didn't go my way.I can see myself repeating at least 2 of the 3 I've sat so far.I hope to Christ constitution goes ok!

Thanks a million for that, really appreciate the help.

Examiner seems to have liking for the exciting mareva injunction!! Would be no harm doing quia timet if you have the time also. I'm going to cover Anton Pillar also. It hasn't come up in a very long time. Really hate Equity!

Was transparency def part of it? I put it in along with Direct Effect and Supramacy but doubting if it definitely asked that. Need 4 good questions cause my fifth was a farce

When you mean poor do you mean not very long and not on point? Or do you mean on point but not much case law and about 2 pages...

sophya

Managed 5 questions in EU despite having a brain freeze in the middle of the direct effect one. Was trying to read over equity but my head is all fuzzy. Think a nap is in order and then I'll do a bit. I'll have to get up really early tomorrow to do a bit more too and get it into my head. Thank Christ this is my last one!

I see what you mean... You should get some marks for it though... I wonder if three good questions and two vague ones is sufficient in most cases to get over the line...

No I don't think it was but I threw it in anyway because I had the regulation and relevant case law...literally just a bit of a reference...

Phew...... I thought I had read it wrong. By the way I think he's an ok marker. I stayed only the 45 mins in march and wrote less than a page on 2 questions and got 30% which defies the odds of reason!
