PCLL Commercial Law

The conversion examination for Commercial Law is divided into 3 parts. Part A, Sale and Acquisition of Goods is pretty much the same as those of oversea, inter alia, the UK. Local legislations are, however, tested in Part B and Part C.

To pass the Examination, students are reminded to

(1) Carefully read the question and decide the area that the question is asking;

(2) Read the note of that area;

(3) Structure the answer by selecting the paragraph to be inserted to the answer;

(4) Only paraphrase the paragraphs related to that area and write it down to the answer; and

(5) Apply the law to the fact in question.

Students are reminded that the Conversion Examination Board has repeatedly warned students the risk of plagiarism. Hence, please DO NOT insert the words in this notes word by word to the answer. Case after year 1997 is highly persuasive, but it is no longer a precedent. Positively NEVER write down anything unrelated to the question. Write around 600 words for each question (of 10 marks) and answer all questions in the paper in 180 minutes (there is NO reading time).

The past examination papers and answers are of considerable value to students. Students are suggested to firstly investigate the trend of the examination and focus on the hot topics by reading the Examination Trend before going deep to each topic. At the end of the day, your aim of taking the Examination is to get a pass, but not a distinction.

By following the steps above and reading this study notes, student should be able to pass the Examination by studying for less than 1 month.
