Guys sorry can I ask - for question 5, it was quite unclear to me as to how to answer. I know it said "or" but it was not in the usual OR where there is choice. How did people approach? I did two pages on each one as I was so so confused... If its do both I am fine, otherwise - not so much! I have heard of a lot of difference responses.. - the direct effect question...don't know exact number

What question are you talking about?

Sorry I am being so unclear haha. Advise Brian on the directive which damaged his hearing... it was advise brian as to (i) Cool Concerts or (ii) State.

But it just didn't seem like an obvious choice?? Were we required to do one or the other? I couldn't figure it out because I was in pretty much hysteria mode so I did both...

nmwcc

Okay the more I think about it, its probably so obvious that it was a choice haha. He really should make it more clear tho. Especially seeing as there was to be no more internal choice as it "caused confusion". I would have appreciated <b> OR<b>

It wasn't a choice. You had to answer on both the employer and state liability. The exact same question came up in October 2016.

Can anyone give me a few areas that to look at for Property.

or could they send me on a the property grid please?

Many thanks

As far as I remember, Succession is always two questions for the exam. So if you cover it you're basically guaranteed to have a good bit to write for two out of the 8. Check a grid though if you get one but I'm pretty sure that's the case.

Dunne1995

For criminal, do you have to memorise the penalties for different crimes? I know the obvious ones like homicide and sex offences but lesser known crimes say syringe offences etc?

annmc882

Are internal choice questions not allowed in any subject now ?

Can anybody calm my head! I’m on overdrive. When I seem to get my third question done my last two end up half attempted answers and just not as good as my first three. Has anybody passed constitutional or Eu on this basis. Two rushed answers and not covering all the topics so effectively 2 half attempted answers. I promise I’ll leave you alone after this. I’m sitting here and completely exhausted literally trying to grade my paper.

Has anybody any direction from their sittings? Thanks so much

I haven't sat any yet but a colleague in work said she scraped over the line in a number of her exams by doing pretty much what you done.

So you done two half-answers and three full-answers. Well let's just say you bagged 5 marks each for the two half attempts. Then you'd need 40 marks from the next 3 questions, which would be just over 13 marks per question. Of course it's possible. Those first three answers would need to be very good, but then again you might have done better than you think with what you put down in the half answers.

The bottom line - who knows!? Stop worrying about (for now )

I'd say know sexual offences inside out.
Know a bit about each defence.
Manslaughter is a definite most years.
Assault
Theft/burglary
Criminal procedure
The courts especially the court of appeal and SCC.

icsheep

Any latest cases to look out for Property?

iana2017

I have 4 passed. Came out of property and cried, literally did 3 questions and two joke attempts passed with about 12%. Constitutional I did 4 good questions and one page for 5th and passed with about 15% to spare and the same for criminal. Do not worry, you are looking for perfection right now because its right in front of you...Just make sure you keep a watch on your desk and do not go beyond the 35 for each and you are laughing.

ArthurDayne

My internet is acting the absolute candyman.....does anyone know a good late opening library in the kind of Dublin 2 area? There is one at the office but I can think of no other place I want to see less right now . . . . . . . .aside from the red cow

I agree these are the type of exams that you just never know wherever u passed or not it did.
When I did my first I studied 6 mths like mad I walked out of equity thinking I'll get a good high mark not just a pass. I failed with 3 points what I thought was the best paper ever. And passed all the other ones that were harder. I didn't sleep for two months trying to work out what I did wrong. On recheck I got exactly same mark.
All they do is drive one mad on top of how draining they are ...these gave me stomach ulcer skin issues panick attacks all new to me.
What's done is done nothing you can do now.
Move on to next one.
Our lecturer said the moment is done put the book away. That's it
Don't let them get at you.

Tony_TwoLegs

A lot of people complaining rechecked marks staying the exact same.
I find it difficult to see two independent markets award the EXACT same mark. Surely subjectivity plays some part in correcting. Or, does marker 2 merely 'uphold' the mark.
I love the transparency.

Paleblood

Okay, for Equity I've covered.

1. Charitable trusts (incl. cy pres and purpose trusts).
2. Secret trusts.
3. Constructive trusts (New Model, strangers, fiduciaries).
4. Resulting trusts.
5. Injunctions.
6. Specific performance.
7. Rectification.
8. Rescission/undue influence.

Is that enough of should I tackle some of what's left?

(Trustees, Tracing, Strong v Bird, the Three C's, DMC and Constitution of Trusts).

I would look at Trusteeship, the Three Cs, and Tracing. Also Estoppel.
Purpose Trusts essay last time so.....
Also RT was the PQ.
Trusts are immense so a bit of luck and educated guessing may cut down the workload.

In land regarding questions relating to finding items above and below land, if the item is found above the land but the finder is a trespasser, is it the occupier (for example the person with the 99 year lease) or the owner of the freehold estate that is next entitled?

Tony_TwoLegs

Has anyone seen the Inbetweeners episide when the exams are on. I'm beginning to question if certain words even exist, such is my level of disorientation. I shall avoid the energy drinks though.
