Constitutional predictions which are my own and not by any means accurate lol just based on current trends in the law;

Constitutional interpretation essay - recent case which went through methods in order they will be applied by court

AG essay - topical, discussed by Carolan himself in a recent paper

Liberty and issue of wardship etc - so many recent cases I know it appeared in Nov but I reckon we could see it again

Delay/Pre trial Publicity/duty to seek out preserve - there's a recent trend here for the court to direct that these matters should be dealt with by trial court

Unenumerated rights - recent case before SC which involved concept of derived rights

Equality - trend in moving away from human personality doctrine

Unconstitutionality - deferred declarations and also the date of declaration ambiguity there is recent case law here

Family - impact of A42 theres recent caselaw here too or maybe surrogacy in Irish law and the lacuna

Tort
does anyone think it's safe to leave out Ryland's v Fletcher for land-based torts? i was thinking of focussing on nuisance above trespass or rylands

constitutional

For anyone who did Eoin Carolan's UCD seminar for past sittings, did you guys find it helpful for/relative to the questions that came up that year???

Just wondering why you have zero confidence ?
I am doing EU and thinking of not using the treaties at all as i am so paranoid !

I did EU last sitting just held up my treaties at the start and flicked through it and during the exam a few times. I would 100% use it, you have the recording to fall back on if they think you have cheated. Like others will be using it and your exam paper will be marked at the same standard as theirs.

I also did a quick 360 of my room just to be safe.

I passed, and the legislation is dead handy especially for certain questions (institutions and FMOW/ Citizenship).

My advice is don't shoot yourself in the foot. No matter the exam people always have issues be it in person or online, that is life. I found the exam format okay. Just do what you can within reason to ensure you are not feeling under pressure and to highlight you are not cheating but it is not as daunting in practice.

I agree with poster above, you are taking focus from your study by worrying about this,you are entitled to have tour legislation and it saved my ass in nov so I would really discourage against not bringing it in!

Literally there is nothing to be panicked about I sat EU property and equity last sitting ! Held up my property leg at the start but didn’t even hold up my Eu one

Never showed them the room as I wasnt asked to and didn’t want to disrupt my set up !

I had no issues !

Any predictions on what Directors Question will come in Company?

murray132

Did anybody notice that the NBN 2021 for Tort were outdated. He spoke about vicarious liability coming up as it hadn’t been up since October 2018, when in fact it came up on the last two papers ?

Yeah it's the same recording as put up in November - so zero predictions..

If anyone here is doing the city college course would really appreciate any tips, I know it is naturally a course that the examiner recommends not predicting. But it is also a mammoth course to cover.

Also might be worth noting that vicarious liability has previously come up a few sittings in a row so I will still be covering it.

Anyone else feeling like they know nothing for constitutional right now

Lawstudent123

Hi all,

I'm struggling a bit with Constitutional, wondering if anyone could please explain to me the order for interpretation as set out in the recent SC case in Senator Ivana?

Thank you in advance!

LS3

I have noticed a lot of people here worrying about constitutional. There is a lot to learn for it but the examiner is not a very hard marker so don't stress you will all be fine! got 50 on the dot in November and wholeheartedly believed I failed the exam! If I can do it you can too.

Would anybody be able to direct me on the case of State(M) V Attorney General in right to travel?

Constitutional

In the Griffith manual family and education are together but are people just concentrating on the family? Has education ever been examined?

So this is all I have on that case hope it helps:

It concerned a refusal by the respondent of an application by the mother of a child for a passport for that child. The child had been born to an Irish mother and a Nigerian father, and due to the mother’s inability to care for her she wanted the child go Nigeria to live with the father’s parents.

The reason the passport was refused was that it would implicate the Minister in aiding a breach of the Adoption Act 1952 which provided that an illegitimate child of up to 7 years old may not be removed from the State. The Act also did not provide for such child to live abroad with the father or relatives of the father. This did not apply to legitimate children.

Finlay P refused to hold this unconstitutional on the basis of Art 40.1 equality but upheld the challenge on the basis of a right to travel.

Finlay P expressed the right to travel as the right to avail of pre-existing international travel provisions without arbitrary or unjustified interference. He held that a citizen has a right to a passport subject to public order concerns to avail of such arrangements.

I havent come across it on a past paper. Could be topical with the pandemic at the moment but you can say that about loads of the topics.

Thanks! It was down as a different name in my manual but same facts so I was stressing unnecessarily over it.

This can come up with regards to unconstitutional obtained evidence.

With regards right to a jury trial, is that in your manual?I cant imagine there is too much case law on that but I could be wrong.

I'm going to say a PQ on fiduciary duties?? Stab in the dark so I have just learned the whole topic. I would have loved the November essay on who they owe a duty to.
