Yes panic has firmly set in. I'm focusing mainly on General Negligence, Causation, vicarious liability, nuisance, trespass to person, economic loss, res ipsa loquitor, passing off and product liability. Less so on standard of care, nervous shock, defamation, defences, professional Negligence.

You?

What do you find helps to learn off by heart?

General Negligence, Causation, Vicarious Liability, Trespass to Person, Occupiers Liability, TrespassNuisance/Rylands, Defamation, Liability to Animals, Product Liaibility and Damages.

More worried that the not so prominent topics are going to get a run like Fatal Injuries or Public Authority Liability. Actually just dawned on me writing this reply wasnt there a case about the firemen in Wicklow that were killed in the last yr or so? That would be an on topic q's about public authority liability/liability for fire/fatal injuries. . . hope to god im wrong because ive looked at none of them!

I find that the cases are the hard part to learn off. I especially get confused in the exam say if im trying to visualise what the name of the case was on the page because all the notes are in my own writing so could end up mixing up topics!

I pick the first letter of each of the case names in one topic and either make it into a word or rhyme. You would be amazed at how much more you remember doing that! The more obscure the word or rhyme the better IMO!

I'm selling some.

Also in reference to the earlier conversation I know someone who got all 8 in one go. They were just finished final year law and sat them in the October. No idea how much study they did tho/if they did a course or anything like that. I think if you want 6 do 6. I don't think having 2 incase the papers are bad will help. It'll just spread you too thin. Just my opinion

I got mine from the OPW website. Succession Act and the Constitution for a tenner. It's mail order though, so you might wanna try and find them elsewhere. There used to be a Government Publications Shop on Molesworth St but I think it's closed now.

Is it an absolute necessity to hand it in the day before? Dunno if I'll be able to trek all the way up to Red Cow on Wednesday to hand in the Succession Act.

Looking over the past papers, it seems like an absolute lottery.

i, naively, brought a printed copy of the succession act with me when i first sat these stupid exams and obviously that wasn't permitted so they gave me a spare succession act and i had it for around 10....so if you bring in your own early enough on the day you should have it def within the first hour!

ya the const. casenote is def not worth studying about 50 cases for to have none of them come up! think im gonna have 4 kinda done haha and leave it and pray!

Hey land law Q -
Re easements s6 of conveyancing act where easement existed and conveyance occurrs - easement passes automatically without need to mention them. Is that for all easements or just easements acquire by implied grant.
Any answer much appreciated. Thanks.

Milkypops

Hi

I just had a quick question in relation to Q1, March property paper.

It's in relation to same sex couples and shared home. Unless I'm totally wrong there isn't really that much to critically evaluate only the 2010 Act. I think I would find it hard to do a full essay question if this question comes up again especially when there is no case law :-(

I would be obliged if anyone has any input in relation to same..

Thanks

JamesLaw

How did today's Tort paper go?

--homeslice--

Some of the small topics like fatal actions on death, res Ipsa loquiter, statutory something or other, then psychiatric damage, occupiers liab with a bit of animals thrown in (possibly I think) vicarious liab.... I'm all over the place! Joyful times

And yeah there was overlapping!

Looking back at it now, I think that Statutory question was on the "Statutory Duties of Care" which hasn't been examined since October 2006. Instantly regret answering that question by using a piece of Statute of my choice :rolleyes:

Anybody know what q2 was today in tort... Trespass to land?

I thought it was either trespass to land or pure economic loss? I could be completely wrong on the pure economic loss guess though. How did you find the paper overall?

CRM1

For anyone doing the Tort paper next time including myself which will be more than likely - start from the most obscure topics and work your way from there. Seems like a trend through all the papers that obscure topics are getting a run.

Q7 was a dodgy 5th for me answered it generally on a few acts, was a throw up between that and q2 but to be honest I couldn't settle on what q2 was a about.

Res Ispa - there is like a page and a half on it in my manual Nevermind case law.

Apart from that it wasn't a bad paper, but I am no way confident I have it passed, annoying because the only things I left out were those ancillary issues and liability for fire and animals. What about onwards from here.

sophya

I hope question 2 was about trespass to land, it was the only question I could do for my fifth. Hope it wasn't economic loss because the guy was never planning on selling it.

No trespass to the person or passing off really limited me.

I managed to get five questions done at least, anyone know what he's like as a marker?

Lawstudent007

Q6 today anyone.... Nuisance or Ryland's?

Glinda!

I couldnt decide what Q2 was about either but in hindsight it was trespass to land and pure economic loss. The mixing of the wood had me thinking of mixed trusts in equity! I couldnt get a handle on what exactly he was looking for. Y did he mention he was resident in ireland or citizen i cant remember which exactly?

Both. . Nuisance of not being able to enjoy garden when boggy..Rylands when ground floor flooded

Hey all, for those who have sat the tort paper, do you reckon the paper was meant to be the October paper ? Or the original march paper or like a spare paper ? Were the topics in accordance with the grinds school tips etc?
