LLB/Diploma in Law Statutes 2009

Statutes and other materials permitted in the examination

Please note that this year and in subsequent years all LLB and Diploma in Law papers will have fifteen minutes reading time prior to the examination, during which they may read the paper and make rough notes only in their answer books. They will then have the remaining three hours in which to answer the paper.

The University of London will not provide statutes or other documents in the examination room. Instead candidates are permitted to take into the examination:

(a) A copy of any permitted materials which are listed at the end of individual syllabuses (see Schedule B of LLB Regulations) as being acceptable for this purpose. Photocopies may not be used in this case unless expressly permitted.

(b) A Queen's Printer copy (or a photocopy of a Queen's Printer copy) of any Statute or Statutory instrument listed at the end of individual syllabuses (see Schedule B of LLB Regulations) as being acceptable for this purpose together with a Queen's Printer copy (or a photocopy of a Queen's Printer copy) of any later Statute amending or repealing those Statutes. Photocopies must be of the full original Statute or Statutory instrument and not of the Statute or Statutory instrument as reprinted in a casebook or statute book.

Please note that candidates are not permitted to download and print out statutes from the internet.

Candidates may underline and/or highlight passages with a coloured pen in the materials, but all other forms of personal annotation on statutes and other materials permitted to be taken into the examination room are strictly forbidden. Candidates may highlight different passages with different coloured pens. Candidates are forbidden to attach self-adhesive notelets or index tags or any other paper to the pages of statute books or other permitted materials.

In cases where candidates are found to have annotations or notes on the copies of the Statutes brought into the examination room, the matter will be dealt with as an examination offence and reported to the University.

The Regulations state that in 2008, the following Statutes and materials are permitted in the examination room:
