How did you go?

Yeah I think it was proclamation. Damn!!!

Really eager to get a copy of the exam to confirm whether it was assent or proclamation ><

[Hannah_Banana]

I think it was proclamation as it was published in the Gazette. Tricky question. A date doesn't necessarily need to be mentioned as a law can come into operation 28 days after publication :/ Hard first question!

Exactly very tricky, my bad you're right ><

I wonder how much people would have gotten question 1 right...not much I'm guessing. Even if it fooled the smartest Legal student at my school!

But apart from that the exam was okay. Could have done better in the "How do courts change law" question and the essay. Expecting around a 55/70, dunno if I can get that but let's hope

Was it easier or harder than last year's exam? If anyone has a spare copy of the exam, could they upload it.

Felt much easier really, don't have a copy

plus the question asked what stage is being referred to in the article. It was referring to royal assent, there was no mention of proclamation

You could be right! Hard to tell without a copy of the exam and my mind has gone to mush

That first question was very tricky, I stated that it was royal assent but I did mention proclamation.
For the court question about changing the law, I didn't mention the precedents at all.
Now i'm worried because all I talked about was interpretation, doctrine of ultra vires and applying a statute to a case and thus outlining it's use.
 
Anyway, all in all it was much trickier and harder then previous years, very surprised to hear people say it was easy.

I just saw the word assented and went for it hahaha

[sadboy222]

what did you guys talk about for the section 109 question? Does it restrict states ?

It does to an extend but did you have to talk about residual powers? wasnt sure how to get full marks for that one

[Tragesty]

So do most people think it was easier than last years? What was the 10 marker? (did it last year)
