    1.do we need introduction for questions 1-7 or just go directly to the answer?
    2.i suppose we need to detailed the facts of the cases for some questions,e.g, for remoteness of damage in tort, cases Wagon Mound, Hughes v Lord Advocate and Doughty v Turner Manufacturing is highly detailed in the examiner’s answer report.
    please help,thanks.

    An introduction can certainly help your answer but remember, you are constrained by time. NONE of your answers should take longer than 18 minutes so it really depends on what real meat you have available to put into your answer. If you’re light on meat, start with an intro.

    I find it MOST UNUSUAL that you will have time ( within the 18 minutes ) to go into any great depth of detail in any of the 10 questions.

    Try copying out the examiner’s answer to the 3 cases you have mentioned. No thought – just copy. Can you manage that in 18 minutes? Now ask yourself “How much, and in how much detail, can I manage in an exam situation to write in just 18 minutes?”

    I think that exercise should answer your own question!

    can we just write Panorama V Fidelis instead of Panorama Developments ltd V Fidelis Furnishing Fabrics ltd for time sake, is it acceptable? and what happen if we give a relevant case name but mis-write it?

    I don’t know how many times I am going to have to keep saying this! Of course you can write in the Panorama case, or in Panorama v Fidelis, or “in a decided case”, or “in a case concerning a windmill ( a horse, a ship, an airplane, a …..)” Or even just state the principle ( but better if you can refer to a case – whether it be by name or by subject matter )

    NO PENALTY FOR MIS-SPELLING A CASE NAME!!!

    1. for calculation of the basic award, in the latest exam report it is 20 years max and 350 max weekly pay, have they review it again?
    2. for partnership, is retirement of a partner and property owned by a partner examinable? because there is a whole lot on that in scenario questions but haven’t covered it in my tuition.

    Hi Asveen

    Have you given any thought to checking for answers on google?

    Here’s google on redundancy:

    According to the United Kingdom’s Office for National Statistics, the unemployment rate reached 8% in February 2010, the highest rate since 1996. Understanding your redundancy entitlement after being notified of your job dismissal can help ease your transition to unemployment. Given the high unemployment rate in the UK, stories of employer miscalculation for redundancy entitlement can be found by doing a simple internet search. You should calculate the amount you are entitled to be paid in case your employer miscalculates and gives you less than its policy or the government demands.

    * Advice on Redundancy

    Instructions
    Things You’ll Need

    * Last paycheck
    * Employment contract
    * Paper
    * Pencil
    * Calculator

    * 1 Review your employment contract for entries on company policy about redundancy pay. The redundancy pay must be at least the statutory amount, which is the minimum amount as mandated by law.

    * 2 Review your math to ensure correct calculations.

    List the number of years you have been continuously employed and your age. Use these entries to first calculate the number of weeks you are eligible for pay. The formula is:
    – 0.5 week’s pay for each full year of service where your age was under 22
    – 1 week’s pay for each full year of service where your age was 22 or above, but under 41
    – 1.5 week’s pay for each full year of service where your age was 41 or above
    * 3 List your weekly pay up to £380. Multiply the number of weeks found in step 2 by this weekly pay. The result is your statutory redundancy pay.

    * 4 Add any additional redundancy pay provided in your employment contract to the result of step 3 to calculate your total entitlement.

    As for your question about what’s in the syllabus, cann I ask that you check part D2 of the syllabus? You’ll find the syllabus for all the ACCA exams on this site!

    Thanks, and good luck with the exams
