Use more cases rather than less. Remember It’s not about opinion. Heavy footnotes expected. Recognise obiter.
You must include footnotes, a bibliography of relevant sources consulted, and lists of the statutes and cases referred to in your answer. Your footnotes should comprise citation references only and should not contain additional argument – any argument included in footnotes will be disregarded. The word limit refers to the main body of the coursework and does not include front cover, title page, contents page, footnotes, bibliography or lists of statutes and cases.
