This is what I have narrowed it down to:

SOP
Constitutional Interpretation
Unenumerated rights
trial in due course of law
art 38.1 rights
freedom of religion
president A/G
sovereignty
equality
private property
family and education
courts
referendum and reform

What do you mean by sovereignty within the context of the exam topics? Is it the Executive's power in international relations? I'm just curious because it's neither a specific topic in my manual, nor listed as a topic on the constitutional FE1 syllabus.

it's in my grid as "Arts 5,9 Sovereignty and Prerogatives, I haven't actually looked at it yet as I am just going down per topic on my grid, but I have it marked to look over it. I don't have an updated grid from Constitutional so maybe it's not on the syllabus anymore (this thought is only now occurring to me!) it was last on the paper in March 2018, Q3

anyone have predictions for tort and constitutional ?

awsah

does any one have any sample answers for constitutional from 2018-2020?

Iconic10

does mootness come up in constitutional at all - would focusing on locus standing and duty to give reason be sufficient for judicial review ?

Does anyone have any predictions for the Property paper?
Trying to limit my topics so I don’t weigh myself down, so far I have succession, adverse possession, mortgages, landlord and tenant law, easements, co-ownership and land registration.

I’d probs look at covenants just because easements came up in November.

Finding is an easy one to look at but did come up in November also !

If you throw in Finding or Family Property, you'll be covered for 5 questions easily.

Property is fairly easy to narrow down. Succession, finding adverse possession etc are pretty much bankers. It's the easiest FE1 imo.

It’s still another 6 weeks away. From experience that’s plenty of time to cover at least a couple of these exams.

Hi all,

Can someone please tell me what topics came up on the November 2020 contract paper?

Would also appreciate any predictions ( if any) for the next contract sitting.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I sat company in November and advantages/disadvantages and shareholder oppression both came up! Just a heads up.

Corporate authority came up too! That probably means either corporate capacity or separate legal personality, as you mentioned. Did you get those tips from one of the prep courses or are they your own predictions? Thanks again.

Sorry I have already sat and passed it last March !! That’s just what I was told would be the main things to focus on !!

Separate legal personality didn’t come op in March either I don’t think !

I think it’s
problem q on mistake + misrepresentation,
problem q on terms + discharge of contract (focusing on repudiatory breach),
problem q on exclusion clauses,
problem q on discharge again but focusing on frustration and I think there was part payment involved in this question as well so consideration could’ve been discussed here,
essay on ways to terminate a contract and formation of a contract,
essay on pinnel’s case + promissory estoppel,
essay on frustration
essay on undue influence
essay on penalty clauses

I didn’t request my script so I’m happy for any corrections here

For Constitutional what are people covering?

Seeing as Non-Delegation came up last sitting I can only think that Property/Livelihood and Freedom of Expression are the only other (nearly) bankers. Hopefully I'm wrong?

I find this FE1 to be a mess compared to the other ones I've studied

Both livelihood and expression appeared in November. Non-delegation doctrine is a pretty common topic though regardless of it appearing in November.

Any ideas of the main topics that appeared on the November Criminal paper?

Not sure if it's been asked, but how does bringing in a copy of the Constitution for Constitutional law, a copy of the Succession Act for Property law etc work when it's done online? If you're not allowed to look away from the screen or whatever. Do they provide what we need on screen?

You are allowed have it beside you it’s said on the rules for the online exams. I just showed mine quickly when I first went to use it and that was it
