FE1 Exam Thread (Read 1st post!) No trading

FE1new

I have finally shaken off the haze from the exams I sat and I have just realised that with the way everything fell (had to change exams when the timetable changed in both October 2020 and March 2021 as I could not get dates off work) I left Equity, Tort and Constitutional for the end....what have I done. October will kill me hahahaha.

God tort is so content heavy

I know! I’m going to need a bit of luck I think! I’d imagine most people will! Hope it doesn’t turn out like contract with 7 problem questions!

The problem questions today were so long do much reading in them, by the time I’d got to the end I had forgotten what it said at the start so much irrelevant information, especially when you’re stuck for time

What is the Tort examiner like in general ?

Is the tort exam up on BE for anyone? For my last two exams I feel like it was up by this stage

Not up for me yet either, I hope it goes up soon otherwise I'll be overthinking it haha

Anyone able to give an insight into how you would identify whether they are asking trespass, nuisance or R+F from prob question ? Seems to overlap so it would be hard to differentiate which exactly they are asking

Just checked mine is up now - wasn't earlier. Also my previous exams have gone red... feel like it is saying I was absent or something

Yep just appeared for me there now too, thanks!

The exam I sat last week is green though not red... hopefully it's nothing?!

Tomorrow will be my 5th exam of this sitting, already have to resit Property and Equity from Nov 2020 in October, hoping not to add any more, but I'm at the stage of being too tired to care. Tort is not endearing itself to me

Tort Question

When advising re actions taken by children under someone's supervision in a problem question, would you go down the DOC route or vicarious liability?

Our examiner said DOC but I'm confusing myself now thinking about Moynihan v Moynihan?

For DOC, there's a case Home Office v Dorset Yacht- juvenile delinquents under care, home office had assumed responsibility for them. I haven't covered vicarious liability though so I can't speak to that

Here is a sample answer from March 2018 it’s DOC

I would think DOC! Moynihan is the only case I have in VL that is not focused on an employment type situation so I think I’d have more to back up my point with a DOC argument!

Thanks everyone! Think I have my head around it now.

By one for contract is red in the calendar but it was red before I sat it they have different colors

It is now red, like bright red in the calendar but under previous exams it states "awaiting feedback". I might contact them tomorrow after Tort. It hasn't happened before and I wouldn't want there to be an issue down the line.

What are people covering for Tort? I feel lost !

That is reassuring thanks! Mine were green and when the new exam appeared it went red. Ah well not worth stressing over.

Thanks for letting me know:)

I’m taking a chance and leaving out professional negligence, rylands and limitation of actions - may well come back to bite me but I just don’t have time!

My property one is red now but my company one for last week is green!!! Don’t know what it means!

Do we just need to have our proof of ID tomorrow? Do we need the letter from the Law Society with our number on it ? I can't even remember getting one from them.

No need for a letter, just your ID!

I feel like I’ll be logging in, accepting defeat and logging out again. Presumably we can end the exam at any time rather than sitting in front of the camera crying for three and a half hours.

Yes I left one exam after 5 mins realising I had no hope in answering even 2 of the questions! Better off logging on anyway and then you can always log off if the q’s are horrific!

I sat tort in nov but from what I can remember is r+f your looking for something moving from one person's land to the other and then causing some damage, like factory waste onto a farm or a boulder from a quarry rolling down a hill and knocking a house (im making stuff up) nuisance is interfering with the use and enjoyment of someone's land,I know one past paper someone throwing cigarette butt's onto a balcony was a nuisance, and then that merry go round case where they both were playing excessive noise. Trespass to land is what it is, trespass to the person is the civil version of assault, didn't look at trespass so can't remember what tress pass to chattels is.

Didn’t think a qualified Solicitor would even have time to look at an FE1 exam thread or bother for that matter!!

I tutor so I do have time and do bother. And its of interest to me. Small bit of grace and cop on needed I'd suggest.
