Irish Variant (very similar to UK).
Hopefully I passed. Few observations;
1) tort question was very long for both duty of care and standard of care.
2) q8 , i said it was validly incorporated due to regular course of dealing Miley v RJ Mckenzie, went through list actual notice, quality of notice, time of notice then regular course of dealing, part b) i guessed that was a construction clause so advised he could sue
3) q9, was a nice agency question, tipped to come up by our lecturer.
4) q10 priority of payments / fixed / floating charge wasnt too bad, i said floating charge invalid and was unsecured because created within 6 months of liquidation, could be wrong.
5) had studied offer inside out, wasn’t expecting consideration….hope passed, answered rest of questions with as much common sense as possible….hopefully…
December 10, 2013 at 8:15 pm #152269damn, forgot about the invalidity within 6 months…

BrunaDecember 10, 2013 at 9:46 pm #152276I took the Global variant and I agree that the question on International Credit Tansfers was horrible. I didn’t like BPP’s chapter on this subject. can anyone recommend a good resource for learning this one?
What was the answer for the Company Secreataries binding authority on the Landscaping contract for his house? I thought no for this one?
Thanks
December 10, 2013 at 9:51 pm #152277I thought no too as they were outside the scope of administrative duties of the company. The other two were enforceable for this reason however… Eeek!

I put in contract as the contract was with the company and not with chu. I did say that the company could sue chu tho for this.

I am not in a position to judge which paper variant is easier, as I did not study the other paper variant at all.
But I can say that SGP variant is not the difficult, just need tonnes of revision and practice.
Just need to go through past exam papers and practice them. The questions set are in fact more or less the same in every sittings.December 12, 2013 at 1:18 pm #152713thank GOD it was reachable
December 12, 2013 at 2:49 pm #152722I thought it said though his position was as a company secretary…….in which case he would be going beyond his powers as the duties of a secretary!! (the chu question im talking about)

question 9, the exclusion clause wasnt incoporated because the UNFAIR CONTRACT TERMS ACT, renders void all clauses and terms disclaiming for death or injury, in this case injury.December 14, 2013 at 11:07 am #152954AnonymousInactive- Topics: 0

IT WAS FAIR
December 14, 2013 at 7:02 pm #152979I am looking for the contact info of the girl I met in Denver who was taking F4. You had previously lived in Jersey and I am a Brit. I have some questions I wanted to ask you about materials for studying. not sure if you will see to but is worth a try!
If you see this I would love to talk to you, my email is pcjg1@hotmail.comDecember 15, 2013 at 10:53 pm #153030Well i considered the contract to be incorporated because of the actual notice, although not signed there was regular course of dealing and the sign was clear….part b) refers to whether it was properly constructed which it wasn’t…that was my interpretation of the question..
December 16, 2013 at 3:44 pm #153053I thought the exclusion clause one had a grey area in it which was a bit unfair. They said he didnt sign the contract but he went there regularly ie four times before. Exclusion clauses if you deal with them daily then they should know the clause so no problem if dont sign it but if its only 3-4 times over 5 years then it wouldnt be valid if they dont sign it. I took the word ‘regularly’ to mean four times in the past year , but why put this grey area into an important exam. It could mean he takes it regularly to that garage and no other and it could well be 4 times in the past 5 years and then the exclusion clause it not valid.
December 16, 2013 at 3:57 pm #153054Good point Paul…i guess if you stated that your assumption was that there was no regular dealing as in Holier v Rambler Motors the you should be given full marks even if it wasn’t the correct interpretation. Then again that interpretation could be correct….don’t think it should make huge difference if you back up your argument either way with case law.
December 16, 2013 at 7:09 pm #153058One thing interesting the English law exam did not contain a single English name. If you look at top 100 English names doubt question 8 abid, question 9 chu , or question 10 ina , jo and ko would be listed. Never met anyone with these names in my life and I live in diverse London, would find it easier if used more common names as kept having to refer to paper to see how abid was spelt, I kept putting adib.
