Powers of the court

That’s a big question! the work of the Courts is to administer the legal system in the way that statute has dictated ( or, in the case of common law, to follow precedent established over the previous 900 years ).

Some statute expressly states the maximum degree of “punishment” and other statutes say things like “…the Court may direct as the Court thinks fit” giving them a pretty open hand.

However, if you really want to know more, you can always refer to the study text which covers the topic in greater depth than the course notes. You should be aware that this area is only a “possible” topic for the exam – you may feel more justified in concentrating on the topics which always come up ( contract and company law ) and then maybe move on to agency, partnership, tort and employment law.

Hey Judy. Are you planning your answers? You should be spending 5 minutes planning an answer on each question. Your plan should have ten separate markable relevant points. As always, you need to watch out for the little word “and” within the question – it means there are in fact ( at least ) two questions. For example “Identify the main registers which should be maintained by a company and briefly describe the contents of each”

Good marks in any question ( where it’s relevant ) should include reference to examples or ( better still ) cases.

The revision kit questions are a good place to start your revision – read the questions, spend 5 minutes planning an answer – actually wrfite out a plan – and then check the printed solution. But whatever you do, don’t look at the printed solution and say to yourself that that is the standard expected of you! The printed solutions are WAY WAY over the top in so far as what could be expected of you.

If you have time for nothing else, at least get through the revision kit in the way I have indicated. Preferably at least twice and maybe even more times. Remember, just 5 minutes to plan an answer, then check your plan.

Also read the tips in the front of the revision kit about exam technique.

Hi. There are a few changes. Maybe you should think about buying / acquiring an up-to-date text book
