Official AQA A2 Law June 2016 Thread

what is the likelihood of duress of circumstances coming up? I've never seen it in a scenario before

One thing I dislike about this unit is that the potential contents can be unpredictable when it comes to possible combinations of theft/false rep/obtaining services/making off.

Is cash money classed a personal property as far as AQA is concerned?

is anyone going to be just revising the law and morality essay? How big of a risk do you think this is?

Also for Criminal damage under property we use the same cases for theft right? And finally how would you properly use the case of Kelly?

1. Probably not
2. Along with BCI, it's one of the less risky answers to solely revise
3. I assume you mean in relation to property. Yeah you can use Oxford v Moss for example, though chances are you wont need it as s10(1) CDA states that property must be intangible. S10(2) deals with ownership too.
4. Body parts may = property only if it could be said that it "accquired different attributes by the virtue of the application of skill".

I think the premise here is that a dead body is just a dead body. It's a human so you can't own it. But it if's an more than that, like say a mummy, that's used for exhibition in museums or an organ that's used for scientific pursuits, then it becomes property.

Also for unit 3 reforms - did anyone realise they asked specifically only for OAPA 1861 ?

what are the chances of law and morality coming up please????

I'd say it's almost certain to come up (99%)

Does it matter if for Q5 scenario 2 I discussed the unlawful act manslaughter with Lucas first and then went on to Jayson etc??

I did scenario 2 and missed out intoxication and self defence because of time will I still be able to get a good grade??

I did scenario 2 and I am so confused how some people got the answers they did.
For the OAPA;
Battery,and s20/s18 discussion in regards to wound and discussion of self defence/prevention of crime/protection of another under s3 CLA 1967
Then the question specifically says murder so some discussion of murder via omission HAS to occur with a potential discussion of Loss of control
Unlawful act was assault and the main discussion based around the causation issues. Mentioning intoxication was reaching for marks because we are not told drinking or drug taking occurred. Just because they were at a bar does not mean drinks were consumed. Some like tap water. Ngl i mentioned it sort of
Hope everyone did well and lets smash unit 4!

Out of all of the offences which are specific intent and which are basic intent?

We've only been taught morality, justice and fault.

Also for property the cases I have are : Oxford vs Moss, Kelly and Marshall. The cases are very specific in some regards so how would you do the property section? Would you link back to the definition given by the statue instead? e.g. intangible, real, personal etc
