Yeah 1a I'm not so sure about. I think I might have skimmed over the question and missed a few things. There were a few things I realised I didn't really talk about but couldn't really work in.

I treated 1a as just a termination + damages type question. Basically just went through the various ways they could terminate, in particular termination for breach of condition, repudiation or delay. Then went on to damages and the limitations on an award of damages, causation, remoteness, mitigation...

My answer was pretty bare though and I think I missed a lot of small things which is probably going to add up. For instance I would talk about termination for delay and I think I said time was probably of the essence, but then I didn't discuss what they should do if time isn't of the essence.

I also didn't talk about actions for debt once (other than a bit on restitution of instalment payments) in the exam which didn't feel right.

My biggest irk is not talking about emotional dependence in q2a(ii). I even had it written on my plan yet it completely slipped my mind....

Overall I think my analysis was pretty simplistic and I think the exam was generally pretty average. I was happy with my structure this time compared to last sem which was a structural catastrophe. This time I was a lot more systematic and I think I stated most of the legal rules accurately. Just the analysis and skim reading the questions is probably going to let me down =[
