yeah, same question always. Kind of hoping it didnt! As it was due a run out and it has tended to be infrequent of late but considering it didnt come up March and the question is one you can prepare would be foolish to leave it out I guess.

Ok. help a gal out here.
Whats people covering for Tort, EU, Company?

For the sake of it, probably best to have something prepared - handy enough banker if so, and as you say it is due a run!

monroe89

In relation to easements does anyone have the case facts for Gaw v CIE (1953) re rights of way and Scott v Goulding Properties (1972) re right to light? They're mentioned in a few of the exam reports but I can't seem to track them down - really appreciated if someone can help out!

Could any kind soul forward an up to date exam grid for Tort? Would really appreciate, thanks.

cojamocork

Would anyone have an up to date Contract grid? I can offer Company and Equity in return.

Bizzare enough but I would say bring your card/change if you are driving. On certain days they were charging for the carpark in March, other days it was free? Just to avoid any messing when you get out of the exam!

Thanks so much!
Handy to know. Money grabbing as usual lol.

Btw I got my examination number today so anyone that hasn't got theirs should be expecting it soon!

Anybody know of some major recent cases that we should have for Constitutional. People always mention that this examiner likes recent cases so wondering is there any ones to consider? Thanks!

NHV springs to mind as one that may well be useful. TL;DR, an absolute ban (with no temporal limits) on asylum seekers working is contrary to the constitutional right to work.

Also useful on issues relating to non-citizens exercising certain rights.

icsheep

Any predictions for Constitutional Law for this sitting? Or Company for that matter. Freaking out a bit considering they're one after the other

Hey,

Just have a question regarding Equity and Injunctions.

There are mandatory and prohibitory injunctions. A book I have has Quia Timet Injunctions under a mandatory heading but, it seems to me that, their purpose is prohibitive.

Could someone clear this up for me please?

yournerd

Has anyone done the recent revision crash courses?

nmwcc

Am I right in saying defective premises in tort has never appeared, as well as State Liability and Fatal Injuries?

nmwcc

1. duty of care
2. standard of care
3. causation
4. damage
5. proof of negligence
6. nervous shock
7. economic loss
8. professional negligence
9. employer's liability
10. vicarious liability
11. occupier's liability
12. defective products
13. defamation
14. trespass to the person
15. trespass to land
16. nuisance
17. rule in rylands v fletcher
18. passing off
19. liability for animals
20. liability for fire
21. defences
22. damages
23. limitation of actions



This is a long shot - but does anyone reckon there is anything from the above Tort topics/sub-topics which could be left out, based on the last paper and patterns?? (I have already cut out the topics which are on the course but have never appeared). Any predictions/guidance would be much appreciated!!

What question was passing off on last year? So much material! Nuisance has come up so many times over the past 5/6 years that I am nervous to leave that out.

Every passing off question had the same answer so I might aswell have it.
Yeah nuisance/land based torts comes up every year but I have checked that I'll be able to do every paper without covering it.
Any tips would be helpful 😭😭😭

You get the password for logging in separately, after the exams are done, closer to the time of the results. However, I believe that this time around you are unable to check your results online and must wait for the letter of confirmation. It does not mention this in the pack, from a very quick look, I am not even sure where I heard it. I think this is the first year that you do not log in and have to wait on the letter.

Lumi77

its normally your date of birth but if you email them, they are very good at assisting .
you have lots of time until the results are out.

Passing off didn't come up last year, I don't think. Q.6 was a Q on defective products.

SM1803

Has anyone gotten any predictions, tips for studying EU? The last four papers the same topics have come up but Im not sure if this means they will come up again or could be completely different.. so hard to know

That's what I thought! Okay thanks for that - was worried for a second there. Definitely covering passing off then.

Thanks!
