Well agency has never been examined in a direct sense and its only the syllabus in "outline form only". I'm not sure that leaving it out will cause any prolems.
On consumer law, well, it’s the worst stuff to learn because it so dry and regulation based. Sale of Goods is different because it DOES arise in exemption clause questions (i.e. where the breach of contract is a breach of one of the implied terms as to description, fitness etc), so I would know the core elements coupled with how the 1893 Act interacts with exclusion of liability thereunder. Exclusion and exemption (and limitation - big deal there with the difference) on the on exam quite a bit and capacity has been on the exam in recent times a bit. Of what you suggest, if the exam was on tomorrow, I'd leave out agency, consumer law/sale of good and exclusion clauses. In particular, I just don't think you can know exclusion clauses WITHOUT knowing how the SOGA, 1893 interacts with same, which also needs to understand the basis of the s.13, 14 and 15 implied terms. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of dee8839 Sent: 23 August 2010 12:17 To: FE-1 Study Group Subject: Re: Contract Law Hi, Sorry to butt in, I was just wondering what you'd think of leaving out things like Agency, Consumer Contracts/Sale of Goods, Capacity to Contract and Exclusion/Exemption Clauses. I know that this subject in particular is one where the questions are very mixed and it is not reccommended to leave much out, but realistically I can't see myself knowing everything and I don't want to waste my time on unlikely bits of the course at the expense of the more important aspects. What do you think, would leaving these topics out be too risky? Thanks... On Aug 18, 3:47 pm, "Brian Foley BL" <[email protected]> wrote: > No problem.
