Sorry you've not had any responses about this. :frown:

Are you sure you've posted in the right place? :smile:

Here's a link to our subject forum which should help get you more responses if you post there. :redface:

You can also find the Exam Thread list for A-levels here and GCSE here. :dumbells:

Just quoting in Puddles the Monkey so she can move the thread if needed :h:

Hi, I've been looking through past papers and as I think that in Statutory Interpretation the purposive or mischief rule might come up. With ADR Arbitration hasn't come up for a while as well as conciliation and possibly advantages or disadvantages of civil courts. Hope this was of some help

I did the unit 1 last year and am redoing it this year. I got a C last year but think I can do better. After re-revising it I think that Examples are the keyy! For example, Delegated legislation> Orders in Council> Terrorism act 2001, energy reserve order 2000, Afghanistan Act 2001, foot-in-mouth crisis 2001. etc.
And for Green papers- consultative document, used to evoke discussion & debate by interested & effected parties. example - High speed rail 2010.
white papers- firm proposals of the bill.
both part of the Informal law-making process

For those doing ADR and the Civil Courts, has one of the three questions always been advantages and disadvantages combined and never either advantages/disadvantages alone? Looked at last few past papers and this seems to be the case but I haven't looked at any past papers beyond 2013 so... 😂

Thanks.

Are we expected to know/is it possible to be asked the advantages & disadvantages of the Latin rules? Also, I'm re-sitting this paper so does that mean that it will be different to the paper sat by yr12s/people not re-sitting?

Can they really ask for evaluation of the latin rules? There is nothing to say..
