Two questions! Firstly, I've got this for consideration..
Stilk v Myrick (sailors, some deserted, extra money to stay and work harder) - If part way through a contractual duty, compensation is increased, traditionally there is no consideration.
Williams v Roffey – But if there is a factual/practical benefit to the promisor, there is consideration.
Foakes v Beer – Part payment of a debt cannot discharge the full debt without fresh consideration.
Re Selectmove – You cannot apply ‘practical benefits’ to a part payment of a debt.
Is this all correct? I got into a bit of a muddle.
Secondly, and more generally...
I'm finding Law difficult. I'm trying to switch to Psychology next year, but in order to do so, I need to pass my Law exams. That's all I want - to PASS. 40% and I'm over the moon.
With this in mind, my notes all seem to be a set of hundreds of cases with the ratios. I'm just thinking... I suppose these allow me to be good with problem questions, but do you think it's possible to do other questions with this info? I only seem to have this type of notes for Contract. I know to get top marks you need lots of journal article info and academic opinion but there seems to be SO MANY cases I'm very worried about learning those, let alone trying to get my head around/find academic opinions.
But what about to PASS? I'm in such a tizzy.
