Moot Hell


I have a moot on Monday and the skeleton is in for tomorrow.
Despite my usual competitiveness, it is the end of term and I have lost all drive to complete my skeleton which will be unusually complex as all the case law is against us.

The moot is on Williams v Roffey, and whether Dave can bind Company X to a promise, which effectively had no consideration. Williams v Roffey says - yes there is a practical benefit that amounts to consideration. However with the part payment of debt and Re SelectMove that says no Williams v Roffey is not compatible with Foakes v Beer..

I'll come up with a decent argument turn up on Monday and hopefully I won't have to use notes.. so this is not a promise. I just want this moot over so I can actually get on with some revision or is that learning?

Sounds like you're in dire need for a chill-pill, Lost. I know what it's like suffering from end-of-term panic attacks - I've just had my own bout of them. Sadly, there's no panacea: just take a deep breath, focus on your immediate priority and hopefully, the rest should fall into place.

Chill out, Lost. You've won a moot infront of Simon Myerson QC, you can do it! Good luck!

If only the judge this time was Mr Myerson QC!! Still don't know who our judge is (*AHEM* blatant breach of the mooting rules *AHEM*)

I'm still working on my skeleton have a few cases to read and the like... is sooooo not fun..

I shall take a chill pill on the 22nd May along with a variety of very alcoholic drinks when i finish..

You'll be fine. You've got, from the sound of things, very good mooting skills - that'll help a lot!

Good Luck.
