Examination Discussion 
If you would like to discuss your Torts exam with your lecturer, please make an appointment to do so. Cheers, Hayden, Ian and Martin.  

Examination
We thought we'd put up an announcement to answer a few of your examination queries. 

1. Examination structure

  • The coversheet to the Torts examination is available below. 
  • There is no essay question on the exam.  The exam comprises 3 questions, all of which are hypothetical problems. They are of unequal length and mark value. There are sub-parts to two of the questions.  

2.  The following topics are not examinable:

  • non-delegable duty 
  • property torts (trespass to goods, conversion, detinue) 
  • TPA Part VA  and other reforms (such as no-fault compensation schemes)

Cheers, and good luck; Ian, Hayden and Martin.

Legal Writing Advice: Legal Writing Advisers are available to provide feedback on the case note for Torts 733512. Please do not feel that you must see an adviser, or that you will be in any way disadvantaged if you do not see an adviser. The Writing Advice program is merely an opportunity to discuss a draft of your paper and get some general feedback, with a focus on the form (see the Legal Writing Advice document below) and with the aim of helping you to develop legal writing skills. For further details, see the below Legal Writing Advice document.
