And sorry, one last point...be very, very able to distinguish "exclusion" clauses from "limitation" clauses. The examiner isn't too hot on this, but once asked a question directly on what the difference is (i.e. thus telling students that there is a difference, and write me an essay on it).
Then, in other questions, in other years, the terms are used interchangeably - like Q8(b) of October 2008 etc. Its not satisfactory at all since there is very different legal principles for "excluding" liability and "limiting" liability, but I think students are being caught out by the examiners own lack of specifics. We all know this has happened before where here use of "or" in a question created massive difficulty.
