Hiya, please could you let me know if one has to learn the entire case study. from the names (Sayer v Harlow)?, date (1951)?, Act?. I would assume one must learn the content of the case.
Thanks
u just have to keep in mind the idea of case study u dont need to memorize it an should just learn name so that u would b able to quote it in the exam as a reference.
the important element of any case is the principle of law which it establishes.
Ideally, you would know the names of the two parties ( or at least one of the names – eg “In the Harlow case …” ) and the principle
but you certainly DO NOT need the dates of the cases nor, incidentally, the section numbers of any statute which you wish to quote
So basically it doesn’t make a blind bit of difference if I write the year of the case down? Sweeeeeet….
you’re absolutely right – the dates of the cases are absolutely, totally, utterly, completely, unbelievably irrelevant
