Speaking from experience... Don't over complicate the question they'll be questions that say explain, discuss, briefly discuss and outline... If it asks for an outline or briefly discuss no need to go OTT on the question.

Predictions for this year:

Causation
Contemp rule
Offence wise- S47/S20
Summary offence procedure
Aggravating/ mitigating factors

Civil is usually about the same questions every year (duty, breach, damage and remoteness, three track system and damages) but got a feeling the principle of res ispa loquitor will appear ( ranging anywhere between 5-8 marks)

Very good predictions! assault instead of s47 and an extra actus reus theory, and aims instead of factors, but good guess about res ipsa loquitor!

You can use Pagett for foreseeability in legal causation.

What actually did the gbh question ask for. I've never included intervening acts in gbh questions.

It was something about the criminal liability for s.20 GBH but the scenario mentioned that the brain damage wouldn't have happened if he'd received sufficient medical treatment straight after

Questions were just for anyone that wants to check up...
1) how omissions can be the basis of AR (8 marks)
2) contemp rule (7 marks)
3) assault (8 marks + 2 A03)
4) GBH 20 (10 marks)
5) summary offence procedures, burden and standard of proof (7 marks)
6) 2 aims of sentencing (5 marks)

Tort:
7) breach and one risk factor (8 marks)
8) remoteness in damage (8 marks) - this was a generous question
9) damage and remoteness in negligence ( 8 marks + 2 A03)
10) duty of care ( 8 marks)
11) procedure to negligence claims (5 marks)
12) burden and standard of proof + res ispa loquitor (8 marks)

Just a few questions :biggrin:

Was question 9 just an application of what you did in 8 but applying to dan suing chris?
Was question 10 also applying what happened to dan and chris.

Omg I'm such an idiot i was wondering why it was a 10 mark question. I didn't have time to include anyway.

On the criminal section i completely forgot what the burden and standard of proof on the summary offence question, how many marks would that bit be worth.
