Why leave it out? It’s tiny and would be such a handy part of a question.

Because it came up in august as a full essay question so unlikely to come up as a full essay again which was what OP was asking. I passed tort with over 70% and didn’t refer to limitations in any of my answers but by all means study it if you want !

Sorry if this sounds really stupid but seen somebody earlier mention Candidate Id Number...where do we get this?

Iso_123

Does anyone know for this sitting can we tab legislation? I know we were allowed in march but I was convinced that it said that we were allowed on the permitted legislation PDF from the LS website for march and I don't see anything about it on the PDF now?

I think usually the law society sends out the ID numbers a week in advance, but they're only for the physical sittings. We shouldn't need them this time because it's online.

Afaik it's always been official copies only and no writing, but tabs, highlighting and underlining are ok.

I have the online tort paper from August if that's any good to you!

Receivership is handy enough and has about a 1 in 3 hit rate. So you should cover it. It’s always examined the very same way so easy to prepare for.

Thank you!!

I'll take a quick look at it for just in case.

Can someone help me out and tell me what topics they are studying for constitutional. Im currently looking down the barrel of trying to learn 30 chapters

How did all the people that say property in March find the new examiner with regards to marking?

Mod
pls do not discuss examiners' attitudes here. They are people too!

I found the new examiner to be very fair. I was happy with my grade

I found them extremely generous! I scored a 60, and I know well my answers were not deserving of that score, they didn't breakdown scores for each question my front page just had 60 written next to every question number I attempted and a total of 60 also written at the bottom, and 60 was written at the end of each of my answers in the booklet- it was all very odd!

I'm toying between attempting to wing it and not doing it so any tips would be appreciated also!

sorry I’m advance if this is easily answered but does anyone know who is doing company law if the whole risk score is taking into consideration our legislation? You may form a whole answer on it and Especially for DD you’ll be using it so much you’ll constantly have your head in it?

Healyjhow

just wondering if anyone knows what came up in equity last sitting?

Don't worry everyone sitting company will be the exact same, it's one of those subjects where practically everyone will be looking at their legislation throughout so I'd imagine everyone will have similar scores for it, and also the LS have said you're allowed to look away from your screen to view permitted legislation so I wouldn't worry

Hi guys, trying to desperately cut down topics for company - any advice on whether i could get 5 topics out of the following or if im missing something vital?

Directors duties/conflicts of interests

I imagine the fact that legislation is allowed will obviously be taken into consideration re us flicking through it & scanning it a lot, but as someone said earlier no harm in holding it up to the camera every so often to show that everything's above board!

IgoPAP

This might sound a bit silly, but are we expected to put down our Law Soc ID on the exam itself to identify ourselves? Or do they already know who we individually are from our log in details?

Fitz_95

Would anyone have sample answers/papers for Tort for March 2019 forward? trying to get an idea of what sort of professional negligence questions were asked in Mar/Oct of that year!

baloo21

Does anyone have a sample answer for Company March 2020 Q4 on Realisation of Assets?

Are people going to use the toilet? I am not sure whether to just not drink water throughout the exam.

3 and a half hours is a really long exam and they’ve expressly said we are allowed to so I 100% will be going, even just to gather my thoughts for literally a minute.

I’m extremely worried about this - I know it’s irrational but I just worry that they’ll flag me for suspicious behaviour even if I do show the leg and I’ll be left trying to prove that I didn’t cheat after the fact which is impossible

You're doing nothing wrong by using your legislation so try not to worry - we're all in the same boat. Just have to have faith in the system that if you're honest and doing nothing untoward then they have nothing to go on.

Practically speaking, don't know if there'd be a way to position your camera to show that it's purely the legislation you're looking at? Along with just repeatedly showing the legislation - I know it'll be annoying but at least we have the extra 30 mins to make up for time lost faffing around!

If I have to go to the toilet I will, if not I won't

You would think they would allow us to bring the Irish Constitution into any exams as it has relevance in so many subjects.

I think that comes across as suspicious, why bother if you're not asked

Also given the fact they could say oh you showed us the legislation but you had something else on your desk - it’s impossible for the webcam to show you typing and your desk at the same time.... I actually couldn’t sleep last night thinking about all the ways they could accuse me hahah

Hardly relevant for company or equity is it ?

I have exactly the same as you but I added Defamation and Employers Liability last minute! Defamation is big but it comes up a lot it would be too risky too leave I think! I dropped Liability for Animals after some advice on here

Ya I actually have Defamation also I forgot to put that down. Perfect, I might have a look at employers liability so. Fingers crossed we are safe enough with those topics. Thanks

So when we login tomorrow do we have to go through all the pre checks again and wait til the exam begins or can we go and come back at 10?

I would also add professional negligence and affirmative duties if you have time. There's been some recent SC cases in those areas and neither came up in the August papers.

Hey, what are the recent cases for affirmative duties, if you don't mind sharing?

No problem, for omissions there is the UCC v ESB case which you can also use for liability of public authorities.

SKLaw

For contract:-
Agreement
Consideration
Promissory Estoppel
Consumer Protection
Mistake
Misrepresentation
Terms
Discharge
Exemption Clauses
Undue Influence
Privity

Although some people have said to me that privity may not come up this sitting. It could be capacity instead as it’s due a run. Fingers crossed though that that’s enough to get my 5 questions.

Aw I really don't think it's worth stressing over! Its their system so we have to trust that they've got it covered. Think of all the millions of students that have switched to online exams in recent months - I haven't heard of any big controversies re accusations of cheating, so fingers crossed we should all be fine if we're playing by the rules

Is anyone else feeling completely burnt out? I am incredibly tired but whenever I'm not studying I get study guilt
I'm lucky that i had loads of time off work to study so I'm mostly just on revision now for the last while and finished covering new topics(except for constitutional which is never ending...) but I feel like I've been studying since the womb at this stage

tommytimber

Would people think this is safe for company or should I add more?

- Reforms

- Corporate Authority
- Shares and Share Transfer
- Shareholder Protection
- Director's Duties
