Hey !!
Umm… I will be giving my F4 paper (UK Stream) this June. All i want to know is How importany are case laws really ??
I want to know whether if i attempt the Questions with cases in the Following Manner, will i be able to recieve Equal marks ??
1. Case Law with All the Details
2. Case Law with Just the Name, No year, And a point to point fActs regarding the case.
3. No Case from the Book specifically, I make up my own case; ABC Vs XYZ, but a case that is similar to the Question requirements and has the nessessary information.I dont think the examiners would have an Issue with the 3rd Option, because after all, they are here to give us a basic insight into Law… right ???
Please Let me Know…
Chao !!

I think you should aim for option no.2 as remembering the year is somewhat difficult….However there is no harm if you can’t remember case name just mentionin the facts rather than not giving any example – This is my own opinion. I am also sitting for F4 (Uk) this june…gud luck buddy

Azfar – pay NO attention to People who say to make up a case name! NEVER make up a case name! If you can’t remember a name – put “in a decided case” If you can remember one of the names put “in the case concerning Nestle”. If you can’t remember either name do not make up a name nor put in your answer _______ v _______. That way, you are highlighting your lack of knowledge!
Ideally, you would know the case name in full, but let’s be realistic!
In addition, do not even try to remember the year of the case – totally irrelevant!
In the exam, state the principle of law and the ( in brackets ) state the case which you are quoting as authority. “Facts” of cases are almost always irrelevant. If you listen to the OT podcasts, most of the cases are “embellished” by questionable “facts”. The point of telling the story is to give you something memorable to help you learn the principle of law.
Ok?
