ACCA wrote: 1. We are not teaching the intricacies of law but a basic understanding – non-lawyers get hung up with cases and sections of Acts – we don’t expect students to know section numbers. Cases will get recognition and rewards but are not necessary – candidates should support their answers with analysis referring to cases – they can give examples and refer to cases without writing out the details of the case. Candidates should substantiate their points with references or examples. 2.Yes it is still there 3.Yes – anything that becomes substantive English law will be examinable. 4.Candidates need to know section 3 in relation to interpretation. There would not be a question about the declaration of incompatibility but it may arise on other questions in relation to substantive areas of law. It would be part of the general area of law – it would not be examined separately. 5.Yes as this is part of breach. 6.We have shifted the content of Sharia law – it is used as an exemplar along with common law and civil law and we have reduced them in the new syllabus. Previously candidates were required to explain the operation of the systems but now they are only required to know an outline – this is more a general background and an understanding of the syllabus. Now there is more focus on the international institutions that generate international codes. 7.I wouldn’t do this – we would assume there is no jurisdiction problem. 8.The new Companies Act will be examinable from June 2008. All of it will be examinable then. 9.Candidates are always rewarded if they know more detail than the basics that are expected. 10.One case is enough per issue. If they state the principle and cite the name the facts of the case aren’t necessary. Cases should be cited to support the law but they are not necessary – examples are fine too. They can be used to show the candidate understands the point of law. 11.We have a separate study guide on the website for F4 SCT. Our official publishers, BPP and Foulks Lynch produce the study text for F4 ENG and then produce a supplementary part including the extra detail required for F4 SCT 12.Law is important for accountants to enable them to develop knowledge and skills in the understanding of the general legal framework, and of specific areas relating to business to enable them to seek further specialist legal advice where necessary. A basic knowledge of the law means they will be able to recognise where a legal issue has arisen, and then be able to employ a specialist for specific advice. The law syllabus focuses on legal issues relating to business that are of most concern to finance professionals. 13.Focus on the consequences for accountants. Accountants need to recognise the legal issues and know when to refer them to an expert. Teach them about cases to make it more interesting for them. 14.Not in the near future but eventually this will be a possibility. There will be plenty of warning via articles etc. Eventually contract and tort may be tested together as the law of obligations. 15.It has been removed as a substantive area of law it still needs to be recognised as a source of law. 16.No but it may gain some credit if appropriate references are made in connection with remedies for breach.
