do i need to know the case examples at all? since i thought that i dint need to learn them, but a question has come up whilst i was practicing on acc study hub where i need to match up the case name and what law was taught from it.. how familier do i need to be with the examples and aprox how many questions come up where i need to know it? as in, is it vital to learn them?
Ask the Tutor ACCA LW
case laws
2mo ago#1Hi 'News'
That's very interesting! Is there any chance that you could guide me to the ACCA Study Hub reference where this question is asked?
At the start of every lecture I particularly state that 'You don't need to know case names, case dates, statute references, section numbers, statute titles ...'
It IS important to know the principle of law that was confirmed by the case or that was stated in the Act.
You ask '... and aprox how many questions come up where i need to know it?' I think, from my answer, you may deduce that the incidence of questions expecting you to know case names has to be considered as a rare occurrence.
If you can guide me to the study hub question I would be very grateful.
Meanwhile, don't worry about it!
The question is in ,practice questions Ch9: Corporations and Legal Personality on acca study hub, it is question 6!
the questin is :
What is the basis for the rule in Foss v Harbottle?
A.The separate legal personality of a company
B.The limited liability of members of a company
C.The common law right of a minority not to be prejudiced
Thank you so much.
1mo ago#3As I intimated in my earlier response, this has to be a rare occurrence. Have you come across other examples in the last 3 weeks? Os is Foss v Harbottle the sole example of a study hub question to buck the trend.
My post on May 19th is still valid - don't worry about it. It is important to understand the principles established by cases but the case names themselves will score you no marks
OK?
