What has been tipped (using the term lightly) by the prep courses for Company??

What was their recommendations regarding the new Act??

City havent really tipped anything other than possibly a qs re lifting the corporate veil it hasnt come up in a few sittings.

Only real reference needed to the Bill is re the proposed aboliton of the doctrine of ultra vires for private companies. Would need to mention it there but dont think its too relevant anywhere else yet.

MJW5

Does anyone know if there been any tips for constitutional? So much to cover! Have covered all of fair procedures - speedy trial, good name, wrongfully obtained evidence etc, separation of powers, unenumerated rights doctrine, property rights, right to livelihood, right to die, locus standi, president - any ideas what else i definitely need to cover?

I did the revision course with city, he said he only added in the chapter in response to the April paper, which he thought the question contained trespass to goods,but the examiners report did not even mention it at all in his report, so no. To be honest I think it was just added in to cover themselves more than anything! ( incase we sue haha ) I can't see it coming up , I would just know what it is and won't bother with case law in it, it's prob just worth a one line answer in a question .

I am leaving out defamation, employers liability and professional negligence, don't even have basic knowledge on these topics. So I think I am in a worse off position than you

Speaking Of taking cases ---- City told me that the revision course was cancelled after I gave my details to pay...I have no idea why they would say it wasn't on if it was... Wtf
And I really wanted to do it to give me piece of mind.
Was it good?

Ah I wouldn't say I am. Like my notes on survival of actions are a page and half and my notes on defences are like three so hoping I have sufficient material cos he so hard to predict

Thanks a mil for the heads up. It sounds beyond distracting and those few hours are crucial.

I might pass on the lift and get the Luas from town.

Is 9am ok to get there? And what time should I look to get a Luas (8??)

Don't mean to sound like I need hand holding but want to be sure I'm ok re time etc. (one less thing to worry about)

I'd put getting out there in good time way ahead of cramming in the morning.....I love a bit of cramming myself but the last thing you need is to be running late so give yourself plenty time to get out.

Wondering is there plenty of parking in the red cow in the morning or is it best to get there early?

Well you should be aiming to avoid the morning traffic anyway so ya if you get out early there will be loads of space

Really? I didn't do the intensive one , I had done the 14 week one. i remembered he mentioned it he only added the chapter on after the April paper, so, I won't worry .

I don't even have survival of actions..oops, maybe i left out more than I thought .. I honestly think you are more than covered, no one covers all the topics, everyone takes chances. Urgh for property I and studied like 8/9 topics and I was more than covered, I could have answered 7 questions on paper! Tort nearly doubles the amount.. So dreadful ...

Thanks a mil. I meant intensive ah well.
I am praying it will be a manageable paper. I have company the next day so would be nice to have a good start to them. One can only dream.
I know some subjects are so worse than others tort is up there in terms of sheer volume.

I'm having a total meltdown, spend most of today drinkng tea and day dreaming. I'm getting behind on my revision plan, I just can't seem to get into it today help!!!

You never know I got very lucky with equity the last time! I had plan to sit last four this time.. And I only started studying properly around the 2nd week of august, I really shouldn't have worked during the summer.. Now the thought of having to sit more next March .. Thought doing two would be less stressful.. Nope still awful..and not confident at all! I actually don't know now I emotionally managed my first four..! It's been a dreadful ,bipolar experience and it's like never ending pain !

Im the same. Literally a nervous wreck too from procrastinating and its my first fe1. Did some online shopping there...what the hell is wrong with me! I could name a max of 10 cases from the course at this point.

Probably not a bad idea with air coach as ay least you can put in earplugs and study on the way up and get dropped off at red cow stop.

Beats trying to study in the hotel lobby!

I am having the same trouble. Studying company law and nothing is going in. I am willing myself to keep at it but my head has had enough. Can't take a break if i feel I have not taken in anything. Can't wait to get my life back.

Midlecat

This is my second set and I just can't start and I was so motivated last time. Its absolutely shocking I left it this late. I'm just hoping now the next three days will focus me. I have some notes done but that's it - anyone done company on three days and passed....:(...

I did three in march and passed but barely and they went so bad on the day only got 3/4 questions done on each due to time/crap papers and I had a good bit more work done for them than this. I think that's why I did nothing this time as I feel you can pick a few topics and get lucky which is what happened with Equity or you can work hard and fail or barely scrape it which happened with the others I did and now I'm totally complacent even though my job dependant on me passing and everyone constantly asking me how's going.

Sometimes if u take an actual proper break & go back, a lot more goes in than when u stay at it when ur mind needs the break.

Yea I know company on Tuesday and contract Friday constitutional Friday week so a fee in between. I've so little done for it that id rather keep the €240 and pay for resits. I have to get off at O'Connell bridge at eight, only stop in city coming from cork then get luas from abbey St to red cow hand in legislation for nine and ready to go. Ugh. Thoughts of it. But only costing €20 return could drive but want to study so bus is best. Why's the ibis gone up so much? 2 sittngs last time I suppose

I always get the aircoach back home to cork and back up , I am nearly certain they would stop in heuston for you if you ask, just say you have an exam and you are under time pressure, the drivers are usually nice. It would save you at least 15min-20min in the morning . Defo worth asking, No point in heading into town and get the luas from abbey street, when you can get the luas from heuston

Does anyone have any thoughts on what aspect of directors might be examined in Company? Getting a bit desperate!

Plan on covering the following:
SLP
Ultra Vires
Ostensible Authority
Share Transfer
Minority Shareholder Protection
Corp Borrowing
Distribution of Assets
Restriction of Directors
Directors Duties

Think I will leave out liquidation.

Any thoughts on this?

Anybody who has stayed in the Red Cow before know how strict they are about check out time??

Will you have to check out before the exam or can you do it at half 12 no?

Must ring them to check but wanted to see what others did with previous sittings....
