    In Poussard v Spies and Pond case if the organiser was paying the same amount to the new singer (what he would have paid the old singer), can he still claim damages? After all he did go through the difficulty of finding a new one. Not to mention the tension he had to go through.

      In this case, the plaintiff was the artiste claiming that the contract was still valid. The case was lost.

      There was never (so far as I am aware) any counter-claim brought by the organiser.

      Now, if there had been such a claim, would the organiser have won?

      What follows is pure speculation … yes, why not? The organiser has been put to additional trouble and, presumably, expense in trying to secure the services of the replacement performer so could (in my amateur opinion) reasonably claim recompense for those additional expenses

      But that’s just my speculative opinion!

    Hello sir, I just want to say you’re absolutely brilliant in explanation..
    I am not gonna go to take the classes anymore.
    I actually feel that the class teacher had literally no idea what he was saying some times, i was absolutely lost.
    by end of each class all students would be feeling like they’ve just go freed from prison, it was just awful and really boring.
    This subject turned from REALLY BORING to REALLY INTERESTING after i started taking your lecturers.
    THANK YOU SIR.

      No you need to practice the past exam papers as well. Buy a revision kit and download the recent papers from the acca global website 馃檪 Also if you have enough time, go through the technical articles on opentuition as well! 馃檪

      As Mario says, you MUST acquire a revision kit and start practising past exam questions

    Sir. I tried to look up but couldn’t find any details related to the Express Newspapers v Silverstone case. Can you please give a summary of the events and what the court held at the end?

      Newspaper advert on a bridge over the Silverstone racetrack.

      This is what I found on Google!

      In Express Newspapers Plc v. Silverstone Circuits the English Court of Appeal held that where safety considerations at a motor racing circuit required the demolition of a bridge, a contract permitting a newspaper the exclusive right to advertise its product on the bridge did not afford the newspaper a right to prevent removal of the bridge. In the view of the Court of Appeal the licence to advertise on that bridge was subject to an implied term that the licence would terminate if at any time it became necessary to remove or destroy the bridge, for whatever reason.

      Did you try Google?

    @ Mr Mike.

    In the course notes i can see the small , fast and multi tracks systems dealing with claims 5,000 , 5000-15000 n > 15000 respectively.

    However , in the June 2013 session there was 1 question on these. The ans was 5000, 5000 – 25000 , > 25000 .

    why this change.?

    Thanks in advance n OT is really good 馃檪

      Updated for inflation – but pass / fail in F4 is not going to be dependent upon knowing the monetary limits of the Courts’ authority.

      Bettini – the breach didn’t go to the root of the contract – it wasn’t THAT important that part of the rehearsal period was missed.

      Poussard v Spiers & Pond – the breach DID go to the root – not only was the rehearsal period missed but also the first 2 of the 4 concerts were to be missed as well
