Series D02 Law 8/6 - Question 4; Misc

Q.
Can you predict what question is going to come out on Miscellaneous this year 2015?
(Series D02 Law 8/6 - Question 4; Misc)

A.
Based on the past 4 years:

2011 Q8 bill becomes act of parliament
2011 Q5 cost in arbitration process
2012 Q5 procedure of property auction
2013 Q - none
2014 Q - none

Question 5 is usually a question on Arbitration. However, I just include a possible 'miscellaneous' question 4 before Arbitration.

Miscellaneous section can sometimes be combination of two or more topics. Like tort, nuisance and trespass is asked together with arbitration, mediation or strict liability and negligence. They are usually brief and giving definition is sufficient with some comparison among each other.

On the other hand, out of norm questions can come out too. For example 2012 Q5 asked about procedure in property auction, and 2011 Q5 asked about cost incurred in arbitration. These are surprise questions beyond the normal syllabus of 'intro to law'.

1. Distinguish the terms:

i) public nuisance and private nuisance,

ii) arbitration and mediation

iii) void and voidable contract

iv) trespass to person and trespass to land

v) ratio decidendi and obiter dictum
