I'm doing Equity and Tort. Did Contract last sitting

iamanengine

Sorry, pointers would be

Equity - Mareva, DMC, Undue Influence, Proprietary Estoppel, Secret Trusts, Charitable

Tort - I failed this last sitting so I am covering loads, I actually have't looked at a grid so no pointers there, honestly try and cover as much as you can, I only had 4 qs last sitting and it cost me

Did you get close with the 4 qs if you don’t mind me asking? Trying to see what sort of marker he is

I think I got 44, can't remember for sure.

But it was my first exam and my timing was way off, spent too much time on the first two questions and it screwed me for the rest. You really do have to move on after the 35 or so minutes

Could have bluffed a decent 5th Q on function of Tort but ran out of time. Seemed to be a decent marker in fairness

BlackhallPlz

Anyone worried about Const don’t be, he’s a sound marker. I completely mismanaged my time last sitting and only managed 4qs so got 0 for the 5th q - got 50 on the nose.

Hey guys. Anyone who sat contract law last october sitting have the exam paper lying around? Can't remember what topics were covered!

Did you reckon you had 4 good answers or how did they go?

I did one good q on FOE, 2 ok ones and one very improvised (q on religion in the const and I think I mainly answered on family)

CMUL

Any hope in hell of a pass in constitution with only 4 answers? I only knew 4 even though I covered 26 topics. Feel like I just wasted the last 3 months of my life

I have it somewhere but won't be able to send until I am home later on. Currently deep in Equity in th library

Constitution was a nightmare was the question on planting trees a property rights re compensation by any chance I said I would argue that but looked at notes and you cannot redeem taxes. Also was question 2 in relation to principals and policies I tried to bs the answer cause I did not know those two cases :’-(

Non eat factum was in one of the questions I think it was the one claimed as misrep! Because I did it

Non est factum was in the unilateral mistake question I think, could be wrong though cos I don't even remember what non est factum is :pac:

Wasn’t a question on its own

Mitigation is from remedies

Charitable trusts and cy pres in some form definitely
Trustees duties in some form definitely
3 certainties due a run, not on last 2/3 sittings
DMC possibly as not on last sitting
Undue influence as not on last sitting
Misrep and specific performance as not on last sitting

You could pass with 4 strong answers, I'm sure it came across in your answers that you did alot of work and I think that is mainly what they want a broad knowledge. Its disheartening if you feel it didn't go your way after spending all that time but like you won't know til you get results and worst case scenario you see what can improve. They are extremely demanding exams and even with the best efforts things can not go your way but sure wait and see and you might have passed it

I didn’t do it so I’d say!!!!

I remember doing an estoppel problem

Just noticed a mistake in the Constitutional paper

Q2 refers to Leontjava v Minister for Justice, but this is a mix up of Laurentiu v Minster for Justice and Leontjava and Chang v DPP

So in my answer I referred to Leontjava v Minister for Justice and Laurentiu and Chang v DPP :rolleyes:

I'll hardly be docked marks for that?

There was a second part to that question too if I remember right.... auction “without reserve”

LawStudent1234 wrote: »

I don’t think so..

In that question I also talked about other cases of principles and policies was this relevant or will I loose marks for not sticking to the question?

You will be fine, I mentioned other cases too

No way?? I was thinking I couldn't remember what that case was but had Laurentiu in my answer so hopefully that's enough

Can anyone explain Q8 Constitutional!? I went with standing as her rights were in imminent danger of being adversely affected!??

I pretty much winged that one using Buckley v AG. Massively winged it again by saying it was an incursion into judicial function by capping the amounts, similar to mandatory minimums and sentencing guidelines contrasting Ellis. Retrospective effect not allowed etc. Said she had a right to an effective remedy and this could impinge on that. Think I died a slow death on that one.
Never thought of standing tbh.

CiaranS93

For anyone doing Equity, the City Colleges night before notes are top quality. They only cover 4 topics though

I went with the Buckley route as well. Also shoehorned in a bit about the cap potentially affecting her right to access courts (though I think that’s a stretch). I was afraid to leave it out though.

Any really important 2018/2019 cases for Company/Equity?

I more or less said the same, hopefully should be fine

CMUL

Thanks for that. I doubt I did 4 strong I was panicking when I knew I didnt have 5 questions so started badly. I had a load of spelling mistakes as well from being so frazzled. I could have answered the locus standi one but just didnt see it. Trying to get back into study now is very difficult

So much to know and I'm worried that I won't be able to retain it all.

Anyone else feeling like this?

For the constitutional paper did anyone answer question 7 open justice? I wrote about FOE privacy rights of the press etc as the case was about defamation suits being held in public but I’m not sure if I went down the wrong track and I’m over thinking now!!

Don't start dissecting the exam too much. Post mortems of the exam rarely helpful. Didn't do that question so don't know. Would suggest focus on the next mountain. Am sure you did ok though, so don't sweat it.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. He's supposed to be quite a generous marker so I'm sure you'll pick up marks along the way!

Rights of the press is definitely part of it so I'm sure you did fine

I didn’t focus on any of that. Just the admin of justice in public cases. With a lot of gilchrist but comparing it to the cases before and med council

I didn't recognise locus stand either and had good answer prepped, kinda thought exam was awful when first opened page but then calmed down a bit once I actually read and thought about it.

I'm a terrible speller and I have seen in exam reports that they give out about my writing and still pass. They really don't mark down for small mistake and nitty gritty things. Once you get your point across and apply it that is really the substance of it. I remember a lecturer in college said you are not studying to be a secretary and have tidy handwriting and be neat you are studying to know the law, once you know it and can apply it that's all that matters. No examiner marks down for spelling and that.

I have so much to do for equity but gonna take a break for while and get stuck into it later, good luck hope the rest of them go well for you and don't let that knock you, it was just one.
