Guys whats the take on getting case names wrong like Harrison instead of Harris? If not sure are you better not to chance it? Sorry the cases are all blurring together in my brain

I don't think that would be too bad but if unsure, then mention some of the facts of the case so that they know what you are talking about!

Is anyone not doing remedies such as damages, mitigating loses etc? I can't fit anymore in my brain. It's literally jumble at this stage -so I'm going to bed.

Jesus I would definitely try and have a quick read over it tomorrow morning if you can it might come in at the end of a PQ would be a handy few extra marks!

Would yous say penalty clause basic knowledge would suffice just incase it came up in a problem question, just because it came up as q8(b) in Nov 2020 so can’t imagine it coming up as a full essay again?

Can anyone clarify this for me - does the Marriage Act 2015 essentially mean that the protections under the Family Home Protection Act 1976 extend to same-sex couples who are married? - probably a stupid question

Yeah I was thinking maybe mitigating losses or remoteness might come up as a essay

So I've studied everything bar:

EU section for Consumer Protection
Illegal contracts and void contracts
Capacity
Discharge of a contract.

Do you think these can be left?

I just there going through the past questions, some sort of damages essay comes up and penalties clauses were up in November. Just a thought.. hence I was panicking a bit there. I could be way off though.

They’re in the remedies part under damages:)

They are part of remedies, specifically damages. Remoteness is the Victoria Laundry case and Mitigating loss is where a person has to take reasonable steps Cullen v Horgan and Dundalk Racing v Hyland.

thanks everyone, sorry for the panic, I thought they were full chapters or something, my brain is tired!

Yes it's confusing but apparently easements by prescription is what everyone is guessing will come up. Law changing on that area in Nov 2021 so it's topical and similar idea to adverse poss. (People guessed similar topical topics in other exams which didn't come up) but it might be no harm to look at that part of easements in particular

Leaving it out personally can't see where it has come up but could be wrong!

No problem. Here is what I have.

Dundalk Racing v Hyland 2017
The Court of Appeal has issued significant guidance on a plaintiff’s duty to mitigate his losses. A plaintiff who refuses a reasonable offer which would have the effect of avoiding unnecessary losses proceeds at considerable risk. This is especially so where the offer does not require him to forego rights claimed arising from the breach. Such a plaintiff may be refused damages he might otherwise be awarded. Significantly, however, the Court of Appeal also vacated the awards of damages. It did so because the bookmakers could have avoided the loss of profits they claimed. The principle applied is that a plaintiff cannot recover loss that could have been avoided had he acted reasonably. The plaintiff has a duty to take “all reasonable steps” to minimise his loss. What is reasonable in any case is a question of fact, though the standard by which the plaintiff is judged is not unduly harsh; the court should be pragmatic because it is the defendant, as wrongdoer, who put the plaintiff in that difficult position. So, for example, if the plaintiff has two reasonable ways of mitigating loss, the plaintiff is not unreasonable if it later transpires that the loss would have been less had he chosen the other option.
However, the obligation to mitigate loss may require the plaintiff to enter into a contract (even under protest) with the party who the plaintiff says was in breach of the earlier contract.

Won’t be doing it either! Only slightly unusual thing I’ve noticed was a beneficiary in a will attesting to it too!

Damages:
Hadly v Baxendle test
Expectation loss - what you expect the losses to be
Speculative loss - what you speculated the losses to be
Reliance loss - if you relied on the contract and expended money
Recitification loss - one party can't gain a benefit
Damages for emotional duress
Mitigating factors
Penal clause and liquidated damages

Recisssion is usually for Misrepresentation.
