The reports arrived today anyway. I wouldn't bother ordering them if you're just sitting tort. The tort examiner has provided four or five lines of info per question and then with the general comments thrown in, this expands to a bumper one-and-a-half pages. The criminal report on the other hand comprises 16 pages. Like everything else to do with the FE-1s, there is no rhyme or reason in the reports...
Anyway, the tort report can be summarised as follows: People continue to write general answers to questions which were intended to focus on particular aspects of topics. The examiner also complains about the unwillingness of candidates to "deal with relevant statutory provisions", so I'd say you'd really get the examiner on side and get extra marks if you paid attention to that aspect in answers where possible. The comments on the individual questions are very short and general: 1. Statutory provisions surrounding consent and waiver. Answers did not show critical understanding. 2. Nervous shock. Problems included lack of discernment, generic answers. 3. Limitation of actions. Candidates had patchy knowledge. 4. Occupiers' Liability. Candidates ignored statutory provisions. 5. Economic Loss. Confusion and lack of basic knowledge. 6. Defamation. Answers were too general despite the Q highlighting specific areas. 7. Intentional Torts / Trespass. Straightforward area, Q not popular. 8. Vicarious Liability. Candidates could identify the topic but showed confusion. I haven't seen the actual paper but I hope this helps. Good luck.
