Remembering case names (tricks and tips)

I couldn’t find online any tips on how to remember case names. So I came up with an idea to use mnemonics.
I thought maybe I could share my ideas with you. Maybe somebody will find them useful.

Here we go:

Rules of Interpretation: Literal rule
Whiteley v Chappell
Way to remember: think of white chapel. White – Whiteley, chapel – Chappell.
And to remember ‘Literal rule’ think about telling the truth while being in a chapel. In other words: “talking literally, no hidden agendas” 🙂

Rules of Interpretation: Mischief rule
Corkery v Carpenter
Way to remember: think of crockery and carpenter (the man who makes wooden things). So, carpenter was mischievous, rode bicycle while being drunk and mashed crockery. Crockery (i.e. Corkery) was not happy and sued carpenter :))

---

Termination of an offer: Counter offer
Hyde v Wrench
Way to remember: this case was about a farm. In London there is park called Hyde park. So, park and farm are both pieces of land therefore case about the farm is Hyde v Wrench.
P.S. I didn’t come up with a mnemonic for Wrench as I can remember it. Maybe somebody have idea?

Some other cases, like for example Byrne v Van Tienhoven, I memorise by repeating the names again and again.

I repeat:
Byrne van Tienhoven
Byrne van Tienhoven
Byrne van Tienhoven
Byrne van Tienhoven

Later on when I need to write the case, if I remember at least one name, another name will come to memory quite quickly.
Law: revocation must be actually received by the offeree.

More to come.
