    In rescission, is it only UI that comes up?

    Do you mean undue influence by UI?
    Apologies if that's a stupid question.

    Equity

    Can anyone please explain what we need to know about the Brussels Convention/Jurisdiction of Courts Act 1998 in relation to Mareva injunctions? My manual doesn't say anything about it but I've just read in an examiners report that it was a really important point for a PQ on mareva that most people missed

    I think it's transnational litigation? An agreement, whereby orders can be enforced, actions started etc in other jurisdictions. If a plaintiff in Spain wants to litigate against a party in ireland but is unable to serve papers, they can do so through the irish courts and vice versa. Effectively international force given to mareva injunction. So assets in another jurisdiction can be frozen to protect right of recovery. Obviously will only apply to signatories of the convention.

    Hoping someone else can confirm if I am on the right track. Didn't even consider this would be an angle so thanks for the heads up.

    Could you send me a copy of that question please, not come across it. Have some notes on it I can dig out. Think the other name is laguno, or luguno convention.2007?

    Cheers for that- Q1 October 2007, it might be a bit out of date as I can see NBN mention 2012 act? Send me your email in a pm and I'll send it over!

    If it helps anyone else the examiner said:

    'In order to address this question on mareva injunctions, students needed to address whether or not the Irish courts had jurisdiction to consider such an application, having regard to the Jurisdiction of Courts and Enforcement of Judgments Act 1998. It is surprising how many students failed to consider and/or understand the importance of this in relation to this question. Other than that, students showed a good overall knowledge of the standards required by the Courts of this and other jurisdictions in order to obtain such an injunction.'

    Yeah, Undue Infulence. I know the chapter on Rescission also includes Misrep, Mistake and Improvidence but i'm not sure if they have been asked before.

    I realised yesterday evening my notes for shareholder protection were totally off the mark, I had nothing on quasi-partnerships. Spent the whole evening re-writing them and lost about half the day’s study time. Dreading it.

    I’m the exact same re company and contract, I’m wondering if I’m better focusing on one and winging the second rather than failing both

    Hey!!
    Anyone have a topics that are most likely NOT gonna come up for equity, really want to focus on some that I can be sure isn't a waste of time.

    Sat criminal, but hadnt given enough study time for the topics for the 4 part que (contempt of court etc) so had very bad answers for them and looking to avoid that if possible!

    Thanks

    I am doing the same topics to you but I decided not to do Landlord and Tenant and instead I am doing Registered and Unregistered land preparing it as a essay but I don't know.

    I am debating between Family Property and Mortgages! Don't know what to do!!

    Equity

    Is DMC valid in cases of suicide?

    Case law seems to say no but it all predates legalisation of suicide?

    Yes case law says no but you could mention in an answer that as the legality of suicide has changed this might lead the court to decide differently if a case was brought to them today

    Property

    In relation to s.111 if the testator has just a spouse, the spouse has a right to half. But in a problem Q if you were to say how much they would get, would you say they get all of it? i.e. what happens with the other half?

    If the testator has a child also, s.111 states the spouse gets one third. What happens with the other two-thirds? I'm presuming the spouse gets more than the child?

    Thanks :)

    Thanks :)

    Did property in October so happy to be corrected on this, but section 111 is basically in substitution of what you got in the will. So if X's estate is worth €100,000 but he only gives €30,000 of it to his wife Y, she would be entitled to €50,000 instead to meet her legal right share under section 111. In relation to what happens with the rest of it, it just gets distributed as the will says it should.

    I think you're confusing it with intestacy, where there is no actual direction by the testator as to where the money should go. If X was intestate, his entire estate of €100,000 would go to his wife Y, unless they had a child (Z), in which case €66,666 would go to Y and €33,333 to Z.

    The difference is there because with the legal right share there's actually a will already in place so that's where you look to see where the rest of the money goes. With intestacy this isn't the case and so all the money needs to be taken by the spouse (unless they have a child).

    I disagree with the case law, it's all frankly ancient and the courts would most likely take the view that clinical depression / bipolar etc = is a "sickness" for the purposes of DMC and that someone dying by suicide would fit the rules (considering many people with serious mental health conditions do end up dying by suicide - no doubt it would be weighing on the mind of the person giving the gift). I won't even get into Assisted Suicide cos then you're getting into very complicated stuff :pac:

    If a person seemed to randomly commit suicide or put themselves in extremely risky life and death situation (in an oil field or something) then died, without any known mental health issues or proof they had none, then perhaps one could say they were not "dying" at the time. My two cents.


    :D

    What's everyone's predictions for Company? I think he'll put Examinership on again, poor examinership, no love from companies IRL or on the exam. Maybe that is wishful thinking because I like it in general. Definitely Receivership / Liquidatation. I read the posts of the March 2019 paper..... :eek:

    Your advice got me through Constitutional I think -- might have scraped a borderline pass!! Tricky enough paper. I got lucky with the case note as well.

    I'm studying pretty much the exact same as you but I have nothing on LTD v DAC, any chance you could send me your notes on it?

    Nice one, hope it works out for you. Yeah we got Shatter v Guerin, Oireachtas and Family which was nice. I knew non-delegation fairly well and then managed a half decent answer on admin of justice in public. Very tricky paper though!

    Yeah PM me your email

    Yeah exactly, the Oireachtas question was key! Sort of hoping the bell curve leans in our favour haha.

    Thanks, will do!

    Hi There,

    I have my notes written and partially learned off for property, however, I am finding it difficult in the succession pq’s when the exam continuously refers to ‘students not applying law to the facts. Would anyone have sample PQ’s completed so I could see how you do them as I am quite scared I’m doing it wrong.

    Thanks so much.
