Our own made examples instead of Actual cases score equal marks?

Until you wait for werty(F4 tutor) to reply i would share what i did when i attempted F4 in june2009
My Own Made examples (My own created Facts) If supported by Point of law will score equal no of marks.
You can if you wish mention a case name supported by point of law.
Because we are not Law Students so what we need to clear the examiner is that we understand the point of law .

Hi Azfar

Ideally, you will state the point of law and then ( in brackets ) state the case which established the precedent. Ok, I appreciate that all these English case names are difficult to learn. If you cannot remember a case name, try to remember one of the names ( eg, in the Carbolic case ). if that's not possible, do NOT say in ________ v _________

Instead, say eg "in the case concerning a windmill"

If that's not possible, say "in a decided case"

And if that's not possible ( how can that not be possible! ) DO NOT, under any circumstance quote a made-up case name!

Does that help?

Cheers

THANK U WERTY AND MURTAZA........... I REALLY APPRICIATE UR RESPONSE.......... THANX AGAIN FOR UR HELP...
REGARDS!!!!!!

You're welcome!

I'm getting conflicting info re answers with cases. Could you please let me know if the following ans. is acceptable ;):

Loss of profit can be claimed if it is deemed normal-Victory Laundry v Newman Industries.
Greatly appreciate your help with this. Thank you

I would make the same point as:

"In the case of breach of contract resulting in loss to the other party, the innocent party can claim damages for any loss of profits arising from their normal activities, but they would not be able to claim for lost profits arising from other than normal activities ( Victoria Laundry v Newman Industries )"

Does that help?

So, what you're saying is, I write the paragraph mentioning the point of law, followed by the case details in brackets.
This much is understood!
However,
a) if I don't remember Victoria Laundry and Newman industries names, I try to mention at least one of the names, and write: (in the Victoria Laundry case)

b) if I don't remember either names, I write: (in the case concerning a laundry)

c) if even that is not possible, I simply write: (in a decided case) ?

Also, please confirm once again whether I can or can not make up my own cases and explain their circumstances to derive a conclusion to the problem at hand? i,e, not just write some random names in bracket, but make up a proper albeit fictitious case to support my answer?

Thanks in advance for the help, Mr Werty!

Hi. DO NOT make up your own case names! Your a) b) and c) above are fine - in that order.

When you say "case details" do not get carried away with repeating the detail of the cases 0 state the principle and then ( in brackets ) the name of the case. If you don't know the full name then state the principle and then (the laundry case)

Otherwise, "In a decided case it was established that ...."

Great! You just made my life a whole lot easier. Thanks!
