Finlaysons Answer Bank

All exam and essay answers in the Finlaysons’ Exam Answer Bank have been awarded high distinctions. However, students should be aware that in law there is normally no single correct answer. The solutions provided are not ‘model answers’ – the Law School encourages diversity of style in answering exam and essay questions. The solutions are provided only as a guide to demonstrate how some students have put together well structured answers (no guarantee is made as to the accuracy of content).

Students are reminded to use this resource sensibly. The Law School is aware of its existence and any plagiarism is likely to be detected and punished severely.

Keep in mind the following points when using the answer bank:

Past exam questions for most courses can be found here
All case names are in italics – we do not guarantee correctness of spelling
Illegible words are denoted by question marks
Where words have clearly been omitted by the authors, we have added what we think was meant to appear in square brackets

Thank you to those of you who have contributed answers to this resource. Your fellow students are indebted to you. For those of you interested in contributing, if your work is in electronic form, please send it to answerbank@aulss.org.au . Alternatively, if it’s in hard copy, please hand it in at the Law School office and then if you want it back (please indicate this on the cover) we’ll contact you to arrange a time to collect it.

Many thanks to Finlaysons for proudly supporting this initiative.
