Explain by reference to relevant caselaw of the CJEU, the concepts of “agreement”, “decision” and “concerted practice” in Article 101 TFEU. In addition, explain separately, by reference to relevant case law, a how dominant position can be held by “one or more undertakings” under Art 102 TFEU.

In this question, can I discuss all aspects of Art 101 including Art 101(3) or should I just strictly focus on the definitions of agreemet, concerted practice and decisions?

Is there a list of the new Constitutional cases we should be familiar with?

The old fashioned way would be to just go to the judgments section of courts.ie and restrict the search to SC and Jan 2020 - Jan 2021. There are 87 results but only half of them are actually worth even considering (even less are purely constitutional).

I've done it here for ease of reference (if it works): https://www.courts.ie/search/judgments/%22%20type%3AJudgment%22%20AND%20%22filter%3Aalfresco_radio.title%22%20AND%20%22filter%3Aalfresco_Court.Supreme%20Court%22%20AND%20%22filter%3Aalfresco_fromdate.01%20Jan%202020%22%20AND%20%22filter%3Aalfresco_todate.03%20Jan%202021%22.

Thanks, don't even know where to start with them!

Hey, I did EU a couple of sittings ago so cant remember it all but that's a recurring question and I think your just expected to discuss what agreements, concerted practices and decisions are. If you have the Griffith college sample answers youl see they basically just provide definitions and a small amount of detail.
Dont get too bogged down in detail for that subject. Parts of it seem complicated but once you answer 5 questions with material/cases on topic you will pass. Iv heard of people passing with 3 decent answers, one bad one and one nothing answer [ie totally off topic].

Is anyone leaving out locus standi for constitutional and just focusing on methods of interpretation or am I foolish to do so?

I plan on doing this too

Is it the same examiner as last year? If so he’s new - god knows?! I just wrote out an essay on knowing assistance.

Me too - it came up last sitting so unlikely again? Has it ever came up in two consecutive sittings before?

I've sent an email,might get a response before the results come out! I'm hoping for nuala as the papers are somewhat predictable, considering the last sitting had no injunctions it would be harder to pick topics!

My tutor reckons Right to Silence is due a run (and it's v short) so I'd keep it in!

bluerthanu wrote: »

Not that I have any special knowledge or anything but there’s a few on that list I wouldn’t be leaving out. In particular, trial in due course of law (its due a run of some sort). Right to silence/jury come within that then too. Freedom of assembly and association might be useful ones just to know in that they’re very short (and maybe topical, although everything in constitutional seems topical). I’m personally leaving out liberty and life etc and that stuff on sovereignty etc.

It does seem that you need to know almost the entire course with constitutional unfortunately, but it seems much more vague in terms of content to me than, say, tort so maybe that’s a consolation. My approach is basically to try know the outline of most topics but prepare 6-9 topics very well based on my own predictions. Nightmare of a subject unfortunately though.

Thanks very much for this! Constitutional is so different from the rest of the FE1 exams that it's hard to know how to approach it. My usual approach is to learn cases in relevant groups, so it's difficult adapting to the broad approach needed for this.

i haven't sat Company yet but i think you could afford to leave out Duress and Privity if the others are well covered. sometimes consideration is throughout more than one q... my word is not golden though

No my grid says last time it was up before November 2020 was 2014 so surely it’s safe enough to leave out?

Last November there was part of a problem question where someone hacked in to change Leaving cert results, before that a pq where someone forged documents to embezzle from their employer. As its mostly a bit in a pq I would advise having a couple of cases and know the section in the NFOAPA, but don't panic over it.
