Yeah it does, i only found out this week. :biggrin:
For the first question of civil courts and ADR did we need to write about appeals or just the 3 tracks? I realised this morning I hadn't written about appeals but I don't remember seeing it in the question

the last time the question came up was January 2013 and the mark scheme for that makes no mention of writing about 3 three tracks.
you needed to mention
- the Magistrates court and Summary/Triable Either way offences
- Crown court and Indictable offences
- QBD and Court of Appeal and a reference to the Supreme Court

for law02 my criminal teacher has predicted causation, actus reus, coincidence rule, assault, gbh, as well as 2 procedure and sentencing questions


the actus reus has never come up so i doubt it will in the final year of the spec, although seeing as unit 1 was a nice paper they may be nasty, i still think theres too many marks for the actus reus for it to come up as theory are usually only 8 marks. My teacher thinks either/both coicidence rule and causation, summary offences

That question was really confusing I liked all the other sections apart from that !
Hey guys, I'm an A2 resitting Unit 2 and honestly the best advice I could give you is make sure you know those end of topic questions, like pre trial procedures, damages etc because they really help boost your marks if you mess up the scenario (like me ahah) good luck to you all! And grade boundaries are pretty much irrelevant don't worry about those

Actus reus has but in the form of an omission. I thought the exact same thing until my teacher clarified it for me yesterday.

ADR? Hope you don't mind me asking what that is? Lol I feel so confused with law at the moment.

Thank you I wasn't told about the change !


Hey, just wanted to ask so has it definitely changed, the multi track record?

Thelatest practice direction 7 provides that Actions under £100,000 will generallybe allocated to the County Court, while those over £100,000 will be allocatedto the High Court. However, if the claim is in respect of personalinjuries of £50,000 or more then the claim will be heard in the High Court.
