This is a 15 mark evaluation style question on civil appeals. This is designed to suit the Eduqas Paper 1 English Legal Systems unit. This is an unusual evaluation question and students may find it a more challenging one to answer. It is a useful essay to assign in Year 13 as part of exam preparation.
Along with the essay question there is also a model plan and a model answer that can help support your marking and support students in doing their DIRT work.
Essay Topic: Discharge
Unit: Contract Law

The discharge scenario focuses on a variety of elements of discharge including frustration.
Included is a model plan and a model answer that are designed to help support your marking and also help support students in their DIRT.
I recommend giving students 40 minutes in class to answer this question.

This is an Eduqas style 25 mark scenario question on negligence with a focus on res ipsa loquitur. This is good practice for the tort law unit. As well as dealing with various instances of res ipsa there is also a causation issue that will help to distinguish the higher grade students.
Although this is designed to be an Eduqas 25 marker it could easily be adapted to other exam boards.
Included is a model plan and a model answer. These are great to help support you with marking and to also support students with DIRT.
This is a really fun little contract law revision exercise.

There are six rounds and it takes about an hour to complete. Extra rounds can easily be added or removed depending on the length of the lesson you have to fit it into.
Exam Board: Eduqas
Students will need knowledge of all English Legal Systems topics (except Statutory Interpretation). This should make it suitable for year 12 just before Christmas but it would also suit year 13.
Please check the answers for round 6 before running as it requires up to date knowledge of the Lord Chancellor & Head of Supreme Court and some answers may need changing
The quiz was up to date as of 09/12/22!

This is an Eduqas mock exam paper that can be used for either year 12 or year 13 students as part of their mock exams. Students are expected to have covered all of the English Legal Systems content before taking this paper.
The paper is designed to look like an Eduqas exam paper.

10/15 Combinations
Juries (10 mark) & juries (15 mark)
ADR (10 mark) & ADR (15 mark)
This is a bundle of mock papers that make up a full set of A-Level exams.
They are designed to be given to year 13 students after the Christmas of year 2.
Students should be taking the contract law option.
Students are not expected to have finished the contract law module but should have knowledge of formation & privity in order to complete these papers.
Each paper is a full paper in the Eduqas style.
This crib sheet is designed to help support students as they study contract law remedies.
It can be useful for structuring notes in class, as a revision activity or as a homework task.
The sheet looks great printed in colour but also prints fine in black and white.
Boxes to complete:
What are the limitations on the availability of damages?
Hadley v Baxendale
How are damages calculated?
Rules for equitable remedies
These placemats are a great plenary activity for lessons on consideration.
Students can pick questions to answer for the sheet, have questions allocated or have to answer all of the questions.
There are different colours for each question to help with distinction.
The questions all test different areas of consideration as well as different skills with both evaluation and application style questions.
I use this as part of a DIRT lesson following an evaluation essay on consideration.
Designed for the Eduqas exam board but would suit other exam boards as well.
This activity asks students to research cases on a particular topic and find a case for each of the headings.
This can be useful as a revision activity, as a flipped learning or home learning activity, a homework task or as a starter task when beginning a new topic.
There are two versions of the worksheet, each with different questions. You can split these up amongst the class, give everyone the same one or give everyone a two paged task if you want it to last longer.
I recommend allocating students a topic.
Students then research seven different cases, one for each of the headings. Some may be harder than others depending on the topic!
This requires some knowledge of law and how the legal system works. I would expect students to have studied English Legal Systems before doing it.

Paper: Paper 2
This card sort is a quick fire starter for revision sessions at Year 13
Students are given a set of cards for a particular topic and then have to sort them into the correct structure for the problem (scenario) question.
How I Use These Cards
I put students in pairs/small groups and give them each one topic. Once they have correctly sorted it they can do the next topic. The group with the most complete topics at the end of 3 minutes gets a prize.
Printing Notes
Set your printer to: Print Along Short Edge
This will mean the cards are printed flipped so that the back matches the front! If you do long edge then this won’t work. I recommend doing a test print of pages 1 & 2 first to ensure your formatting is working!

Topic: Defences and Remedies

This case table is a great revision resource for A-Level law students. It contains gaps to fill in the facts and legal principle for the key cases for defences and remedies under tort law.
These cases are the ‘tier 1’ cases and sections. These are cases that will appear in every problem question answer for defences and remedies.
Cases included:
Jones v Livox Quarries (1952)

Stapley v Gypsum Mines Ltd (1953)
Pilkington v Wood (1953)
Legislation Included:
Law Reform (Contributory Negligence) Act 1945, s 1(1)
How I Use This Resource
I give the sheet to students and give them five minutes to complete as much as they can by themselves without notes.
I then give them a further five minutes to work as a group.
They can then complete the table with notes if there are still gaps.
I usually have the table on the board and fill it in throughout if students as me for clarity or shout out any answers! By the end of about 15 minutes every students should have a completed sheet.
