Well, this exam was always going to be iffy. Not to worry, I won’t be an awful Commercial lawyer in practice, it’s just that Oxford insist that you are taught some incredibly obscure “principles” of Commercial Law, and thus the course is actually far more complicated than it probably should be. Oh for studying at Oxford. Anyway, I managed to answer four questions (I omitted two large, and incomprehensible areas from my revision), which was a relief. How well I did on them, I don’t know, and I don’t really care. The fact is, I could answer them, and as OJ said “whatever you do in this exam, it can only get better and better”, which is true; I didn’t start with the benchmark of a high 2:1 and aim to duplicate it in the exam, I began as a high 2:2/low 2:1 and wanted to do the best I can. And I have. So it’s all in the hands of the Tutors now. The next exam, Company Law, is on Friday morning and after that I shall [hopefully] be able to enjoy a picnic with OJ and Ollie amongst others (don’t expect the questions to be posted particularly promptly!). So now I have three days of revision ahead (needed) and the red carnation is in sight…

Critically assess section 20A of the Sale Of Goods Act

“It must be a most unusual and peculiar case where an agent who is known to have no general authority to enter into a transaction of a certain type can by reason of circumstances created by the principal reasonably be believed to have specific authority to enter into a particular transaction (Goode). Discuss.

And in addition to the essays, a problem question regarding the exceptions to nemo dat (a man can’t give good title, unless he has the title to give) and another problem question concerning the Sale of Goods Act. They are both far too boring and long to duplicate!

Right. Company. Focus. Work. One More Exam!
