The parties can change the terms of the contract by agreement. Whether you intepret this as a termination by agreement of the original contract and an incorporation of the original terms into the a new contract, or simply a modification of the original contract, doesn't seem to present any great discrepency in result...

Mr Brown marked my paper and gave me high marks!

Yeah I read the whole book. But Crim one is good for understanding the substantive stuff when you get to session 2.

I can flip through my crim book and 95% of the pages are highlighted. I liked my crim reading! I read it all and high a stack of notes 10m high (hyperbole)...

Com law people generally love contracts and hate public and crim. It seems, in general, arts people are better able to deal with public law areas than com law people. (I'm being very general). Or at least com law people tend not to like public law areas.

Being arts/law, from what I've done --

Love:
- contracts
- property
- sale of goods/consumer protection

Like:
- public
- torts

Annoyed by:
- crim theory.

Bit of a paradox then?

Thankfully you guys haven't experienced Taxation Law as yet (an option for Com/Law students, am I right?)

It has to be the driest law subject...boring cases about what is classified as assessable income or a fringe benefit that is brought all the way to the High Court.

CP is very importatnt omg

What subjects are you doing this session? Crim and property? If you do property who do you have?

I'm doing crim and property - for property I have.. I think her name is Cathy? Anyway she's very good. I thought she was aggressive at first but now I realise she's just passionate - and teachers who are really interested in what they teach is always good.

I liked public except Sean Brennan marked everyone hard :\

I had Ed Santow for Public -- he was great! Very funny, enthusiastic, friendly, and a reasonable marker. Took us to see High Court reg and saw Kirby's chambers.

Contracts 1 was terrible. Mainly because we had a teacher that did not teach.

My teacher was terrible as well - very pretentious and not at all interested in what students had to say - Gail Pearson. Luckily she's left and is now teaching at USyd. The reason I did fine is because I already did contracts under a business law elective when I was at USyd. I had basically done both contracts 1 and 2 already, without having read any of the cases (except the old Carbolic Smoke Ball).

I remember Gail gave everyone 15/20 for contracts cp, including me.

LOL I see my old commercial law lecturers still there, Pearl and Joe

I'm sure they'll just love their new addition heh

Also is it just me or do the page numbers from the easter break onwards not line up?

what do you mean

 

[Frigid]

MS, so exactly what is your study background? how comes you're doing Crim this year and not the last?

Because I transferred, altering the degree structure. In 2003 I was doing B. Information Technology at USyd, then transferred to BA/LLB, from 2004 to the present. When I was doing IT one of the electives involved business law subjects. As a result in 2003 I covered basically the whole of contracts 1 and 2, with less detail, namely not reading any of the cases. I also did property; personal, intellectual and land law, and also went over the tort of negligence and the Sale of Goods Act/consumer transactions/consumer protection, as well as TPA for misleading/deceptive conduct. It was very handy

From easter onwards the numbers are not right. Edgeworth told us to read different pages from those listed in the sheet.

For class 8 the readings only make sense if its 155-164, 173-176

Class 9 176 - 192
Class 10 193-217

Otherwise the chapters don't line up.

The sheet says --

Week 5. - 4 April:
Class 9. Limitation of actions: Ch.2, pp 178-94
Class 10. Doctrine of estates : Ch.3, pp 195-217

You were told to do different readings than those? He might have varied it slightly - we were just told to do the readings on the sheet
