Designed to complement your learning, the sessions will give you direct instruction from a University of London approved tutor and a sense of community by connecting you to other students. With your assessments approaching, make sure to take part in the Revision Event this year from the comfort of your own home.
Chris Riley

Chris Riley has taught Company law in a number of UK universities for over 30 years. He currently teaches at Durham University, and is also the Module Leader for Company law on the University of London’s Bachelor of laws programme. In an earlier life, he qualified and practised as a solicitor, working in the corporate department of a large provincial law firm. Aside from teaching, his current research focuses on issues around AI and directors’ duties, and the regulation of corporate groups.
Join him on this adventure
At this year’s Revision Event, Chris will focus on three topics from the Company law module guide. First, he’ll begin by looking at how directors’ duties can be enforced, including through derivative claims. Secondly, he’ll examine the tension that can arise between majority and minority shareholders, and the protection which company law gives to the latter. Finally, he’ll switch the focus from smaller companies (where minorities tend to suffer most) towards larger companies, especially those listed on the London Stock Exchange. He’ll look at what’s distinctive about these larger companies, and at some of the additional regulation to which they’re subject – addressing what’s usually referred to as their ‘corporate governance’. Each of these three topics is important in its own right. But since you’re moving into revision mode, he’ll also use the opportunity to practise and develop your examination skills in Company law.
By the end of the revision session, you should understand much better these three important areas of company law, and feel more confident about answering questions on them in the exam.

Anne Street will begin with the issues which arise from Chapter 3 and hopefully engage with the central discussions during her tutorials so that you get a full grasp of this core area of study. Then Chapter 9 will be looked at, to understand how this contractual relationship has become enforceable as a Property Right. She will then look at the mortgagees rights from Chapter 10 before lastly looking at Chapter 11 and adverse possession.
It is a chance to really engage with this fascinating topic, where working at the essentials pays dividends.

Dr Brennan is very keen that Tort students have a good grounding in the fundamentals of the subject. In anticipating the coming exams, it will be helpful for students to review some of the more challenging topics in Tort, to both share and test their own knowledge, and of course to use this as a good opportunity to ask any questions they might have.

This is a fantastic opportunity to watch and listen to a presentation of how a contract can be modified after it has been entered into and the various things one needs to be wary of during a process of contractual renegotiation. Ioannis will also present on the tricky topic of exclusion (or exemption) and limitation clauses and explain what happens when the performance of a contract is not as expected, taking you through a presentation of breach of contract and remedies. All these are essential components of knowledge for all contract and commercial lawyers.
Spend some time thinking about the practice questions. Hands on topics like contract law make more sense through real-life examples.
