Assignment Format
Greetings: below are some points that you may find useful as to how your assignment can be presented.

Do not type out the full assignment questions. List the answers with number Part A. Q 1(b)) or Part B 2 (b) before the answers.

Support Part A and B answers with case and/or statute references to support the analysis where relevant.

For Part A, there is no particular format. 1000 words are the guide with twenty marks on offer. Allow say 50 words per mark as a general guide. You have to number your answers clearly and use complete sentences.

As for Part B the legal problem questions should be answered in the following format:

1.Issue: what is the legal problem/legal topic that needs to be addressed based on the facts of this case. Generally, I like to put the issue in the form of a question so that in my subsequent analysis will answer back to the issue.

2.The law/rules: the second step is look at what are the legal principles that are relevant to the issue. In this section, you need to support the law with relevant cases and proper citations and outline the relevant principles that come out of these cases. Referencing APA or AGLC/legal is acceptable. You only need to provide one form of referencing.

3.Application of law to the facts of the case. In this paragraph(s), you dissect and discuss the facts of the case, apply the law and finally determine the outcome of the case. The outcome may be that the parties have or have not reached a legally binding agreement. Generally this goes back to the issue.

4.Remedies/Conclusion: what are the likely orders the court will grant.
