Hopeful for equality it’s a nice essay

You should be covered so. I am not doing equality but I hope to be well covered with what I have. Gosh am just so so tired I am starting to hope Ireland goes on lockdown right after the exams so I can spent a week watching Netflix and sleeping

This is what I have, I think this is what you’re referring to?

• Cohabitants: (any sex) Part 15 of the 2010 Act defines cohabitants as two adults who live together as a couple in an intimate and committed relationship:
▪ S. 172 - cohabitants are entitled to redress when relationship ends if cohabiting for 5 years or 2 years if parents of dependent children.
▪ Mee critical of long minimum time periods in contrast with UK where none if children, Scotland none at all.

Thanks so much. Just on the last point, what's mee?

Mine are similar:

FMG
FMW
Direct effect/Supremacy
Judicial Review
Equality
Citizenship
Thinking about leaving our principles and doing infringement instead but I notice that the question 1 is usually institutions or principles am I right?

Also for institutions do you need to know the legislative procedures yea?

I don't think infringement proceedings has been asked by this examiner has it? Might be wrong but I think last was in 2015?

My grid has GP as coming up every sitting since this examiner took over! I'd be reluctant to leave it out. GP and Institutions often come up in the same sitting on separate Qs

Infringement never up with this examiner, according to my grid anyway, would you be thinking of MS liability?

Maybe I am wrong. I just got a copy of the October exam paper off a friend and it says infringement beside question 2. What does your grid say about October 2019 Q2?

Just reading over it again, you are right. And she failed it so that's probably why haha

I am right in saying that almost guaranteed questions are:

Institutions and/or principles
FMG
Competition and equality/citizenship usually 2 part Q8?
Direct Effect

Since this examiner took over:

Institutions up every sitting except March + October 2018
GP up every sitting
Direct Effect every sitting except last sitting, usually comes up with MS Liability
Judicial Review every sitting except March 19
FMOG every sitting, sometimes 2 questions
Workers was up 5 sittings in a row then wasn't up last sitting, could be a shout this sitting
Citizenship every sitting except March 16

Loosely predicting a Digital Rights case-note this sitting for EU b/c of the slight similarities between it and the current Graham Dwyer case.

Hopefully the current examiner is topical

Mod
Pls do not discuss examiners here

DRMC

Hi Everyone,

Sorry to bother you. Would someone be able to briefly explain the importance of a personal representative, please? My notes are confusing when discussing s56 and I am frightful I’m revising it too much instead of focusing on more pressing issues.

Thanks

If that's the case there might be a FMW question due to the Corona virus haha

I'll be avoiding the case note question at all costs! I had prepared fairly well for the constitutional one but I don't have a notion about it for EU

Didn't consider it before today tbh

I have a grid (don't know how reliable it is) up to Oct 18 and cases from the area of FMG come up frequently, so it's essentially killing two birds with one stone.

Seriously considering studying Case notes instead of Institutions now. These exams have warped my common-sense

Hey everyone, does anyone have sample answers on these for EU:

- EU Charter of Fundamental Rights; and
- Outline the role EU institutions in law-making and whether the changes under the Lisbon Treaty have made EU more democratic.

Or even better and desperately desired, one of those Griffith Colleges booklets with sample answers to every question. If anyone has that booklet, I'll give anything for it!

So, so tbh.
Wound up avoiding the problem questions and breaking that cardinal rule.
Discharge of obligations due to breach of other party, hopefully happy out there.
Did the penalty clauses question
Stat limitations on exclusion clauses
Effect of PE on contract formation
And sophie and jack question. Which I completely fluffed .
Fingers crossed. Felt I did well on first two questions. But these exams can bite badly come results day.

Just talked about revocation and formal and evidentiary requirements, how for the sale of land... contract must be in writing! Was Q6 about breach of contract?

Just me or have all the papers so far been really tough/awkward? Constitutional had like 4 Qs on SOP, Company had 2 Qs that have possibly never come up before, Equity was just a generally tough paper I thought

Though it's possible people say this every sitting I guess

Adding those two in company was very unfair I thought. There are subjects where 1 question is viewed as a write off (ie EU, Con and the notes questions), but whittling people down to 5 questions from 6 like that was harsh. I hope it’s reflected in the marking.

I've thought they've been tougher than the last sitting although I did the 4 easiest last sitting and passed then all, literally got 50 in 3/4 haha

I though constitutional was pretty tough as of all the SOP questions. Found myself sometimes repeating myself.

Hopefully EU is kind to us
