is it reasonable to leave out delay in trial in due course? Doing everything else and mainly focusing on right to silence (Sweeney Case)

would it be a horrible decision to leave out purpose trusts? didnt realise how long it was and dont know if im wasting my time when i could be focusing on other questions!

i think purpose trusts is quite an important topic tbh. i know they came up in november but theyve been recommended by the night before notes and the lectures i used really emphasised them. only thing is you need to know all charitable purpose, cy-pres and non-charitable to answer a Q on it!

Hi all, just re the exams - I would suggest doing rough work in the answer box and flesh out in your answer the cases, acts etc. I used the sticky notepad in my exam in November 2020 and all my rough work got deleted. I’m not sure if this has happened to anyone else but just thought I would let you know.

what do you think about leaving out non charitable trusts? - finding the non incorporated exception super confusing and left til last minute to learn !

I would recommend covering this as it comes up as a note sometimes and I think it can be mixed in with the charitable trusts problem q. I know what you mean about the unincorporated associations being confusing but I literally have 2 cases on this part and just a couple of points which should be enough for a general note Q or if its mixed in with a problem question on charitable trusts.

The city college NBN are very helpful for this topic

yeah i think the same. non charitable could be just as important but im only going to have a little bit to say on unincorporated associations

Hey guys, just in relation to constitutional remedies, what would be the main topics to talk about? Would it just be that the person in question is entitled to declaratory relief, damages, interim relief, judicial review?

Is there anything I’m leaving out or any specific case law I could refer to?

for remedies i found the following useful: TD v minister for education (demonstrates the reluctance of courts to grant mandatory orders), Blascoad Mor (entitled to recover damages where damage is proved to stem directly from effects of the invalidity), Conway v INTO (talks about why different damages would be awarded - ordinary damages for physical injury mental distress etc, aggravated damages due to the way the wrong was committed and punitive damages intended to punish the defendant rather than compensate the pf)

Muldoon v Minister for the Environment [2015] determined taxi licenses could be the subject of property rights

Thanks for this, would you compare with the Hand case where a licence was not deemed property or muldoon is the new stance you would take?

Literally did not know there was a chapter on remedies!

In Hand the issue was that the applicant had been convicted of unlawful casual street trading and his license had been revoked. He argued this breached his right to earn a livelihood rather than property rights and the court held that the oireachtas was entitled to restrict the right to earn where this is a proportionate restriction in the common good. I did the City course and the lecturer mentioned that in the last exam people didn’t notice that the license in a problem q was a property right and that the examiner was critical of that so I’d definitely keep Muldoon in mind

I thought the hand case just clarified that the right to livelihood can be restricted in the common good

Hempenstall also stated a license is a property right

for my notes on non charitable purpose trusts I literally have a few points on the policy reasons against enforcing them and like 2 cases there then a few points and 2/3 cases each for the 3 exceptions. I think (hope) this should be enough as I've only seen it come up as a note on its own or mixed in with a problem. has anyone ever seen it come up in any other way? Would love an opinion on whether people feel this is enough detail

Just got response re exams not showing up on the system when you log in, Law Society said they'll appear on the calendar on the day, and if not to contact them immediately. Not inspiring confidence

Is anyone leaving out parliamentary privilege?
If not, what are the key cases to cover? Thanks so much.

i left it out but wondering if i should cover it as well. I left out all the houses of the oireachtas as it came up last time. anyone any advice on whether we should cover privilege and confidentiality only ? would it come up as part of problem question maybe ?

I think Kerins could come up as a case note rather than a full question this time simply because of its significance. That’s just my opinion and I could be completely wrong but the city lecturer said not to leave it out if you can.
