PCLL的第七個星期之二:Civil Procedure Mid-term

考完返來了,都OK。一條題目,考Request for further and better particulars,其實個重點,除了是問那些(who, where, when, how之外),今次個題目話明個defendant對你的instruction係從來都沒有sign個contract, 佢懷疑是俾佢踢走的director sign的,所以在每一個paragraph,我都會問: State who on behalf of the Defendant signed the contract...
其實都唔係好明要用什麼wordings去問,copy了幾個precedent d wordings,去到都是變下佢..問來問去都是個agreement係唔係oral, in writing, by conduct...邊一個問,幾時問,什麼地方問...重點是material facts, not evidence...
當然還有format同back sheet, 不過tutor話in practice通常都是用letter.
