FE1 Exam Thread (Read 1st post!) NOTICE: YOU MAY SWAP EXAM GRIDS

user115

I just got company acts from OPW, it's in 2 volumes and plain white, is that the correct one you can bring into the exam?

Does anyone have a tort grid that identifies which questions the topics came up in? Can swap other subjects

CONSTITUTIONAL

Q. Relationship between the Constitution and the law of EU.

How would any of you guys tackle this?

I have an answer re the freedom of expression / ECHR relationship, but would the answer to the above Q be completely different?

Thank you!

They're on their website just search 'night before notes' in the top left-hand search bar and you can download them!

Has the role of executors or personal reps ever come up in a succession Q?

Company

Section 239 CA 2014 prohibits a company entering into a credit transaction AS A CREDITOR for a director or connected person...

So for the question about David and Joan (Q. 3 October 2016 and Q. 3 March 2013) does this mean Fresh Air Limited can lease the mountain from DB Limited no problem as they are not a creditor in this situation (15,000 is owed by them to DB Limited per annum)?

The examiner says 239 does apply here so I must be wrong but I still do not get the significance of 'as a creditor'.

Can anyone help?

Anyone have any ideas about Q1 March 2019 for Tort? These causation questions are really confusing me and I'm having a lot of difficulty figuring out what the "initial" events are and what events are novus actus interveniens.

So for the permitted legislation we're only allowed to tab and highlight, but are we allowed to write on the tabs?

Defo no writing on the tabs! You can underline and I got away with an asterisk once haha but yeah no, nothing written on the tabs!

Equity: Could anyone advise me if it is it ok to learn proprietary estoppel alone, no promissory? My exam grid doesn't even mention promissory estoppel so I was going to completely skip it?

I mean I've never tested it but really highly doubt they'd allow it tbh! Like they check through all the material to make sure nothing's written in it so it seems counterintuitive that they'd allow writing on the tabs, even if it is just so you know which sections are where

I wouldnt chance it, they'd just take the tab off and then you'd be totally lost. If there's writing on a page they tear it out and give you back the rest of it. Def not worth it in my opinion!

Hi,

Would anyone have any tips/hacks for Eu?

It's my last exam and I'm pretty overwhelmed by the sheer volume of it.

Not having any sample answers isn't helping either!

Thanks in advance

I guess not

Don’t believe promissory estoppel has ever been examined in Equity. It is more so related to the Contract Law syllabus.

Is anyone else struggling a lot with tort?

I feel like I have a good grip on the topics but I'm finding it very difficult to approach the exam questions.

COMPANY

would anyone have a sample answer for October 2017 Q.8? It is a terrible question as it asks for so many topics. Worried in case that question comes up next week...

iamanengine

Would anyone have a Examiner Report for the most recent Contract sitting?

I'm looking at the exam paper here and I barely have a clue what topics are being asked in the problem Qs!

Or alternatively, does anyone have the topics that came up for each Q?

Could anyone explain the recent Article 42A case of Re JB [2018] IESC 30?

Thanks

For unenumerated rights for constitutuional, are people covering them all in detail or is there ones that could be left out? My manual is over 60 pages so really need to cut down

REAL PROPERTY

EU - is anyone learning 30 odd case notes? I won't get to pure rote learning until Tuesday or Wednesday. Bit annoying giving up a straightforward Q but don't think I'll have time. Might scan over them for 2 hours or so next week in case I get stuck. Pass rate was 85% last time, thinking this paper might have one or two curve balls, I do hoe not tho. So big.

Any thoughts on case notes?

For Equity are people learning the 10 or so common note Qs? I assume yes. It'll be next week but think I'll have to cover that one.

Agree with you it may be a rough paper, but do remember pass rate hasn’t fallen below 70% since I think 2013. Think he can only deviate from the standard so much, so as long as cover our bases should be okay.

Case note is in my opinion too unpredictable to waste time on - even more unpredictable than constitutional which I totally disregarded for my last sitting and was fine on the day. I wrote out all of the cases for EU from 2015-2019 and was nearly 3 A4s!

Personally wouldn’t waste my time trying to learn it, would focus on covering myself elsewhere - 106, state aid, etc.

Just my two cents!

I’ve only a really broad knowledge of right to earn a livelihood. Doesn’t tend to be examined too much.
