LawByLak — Topic 48: Contract Terms (OCR H418, Paper 4)
Express and implied terms, conditions, warranties, innominate terms, exclusion clauses and statutory control.
The topic where the marks are won on precision. 17 statutory provisions across four Acts — and knowing which regime applies before you write a word is the difference between Level 2 and Level 4.
What's inside
Three things, in one download:
- The interactive revision module — a single file you open in any browser. Tabs, search, flashcards, self-marking, progress tracking, dark mode. Works offline once downloaded.
- The cheat sheet — the whole topic on a few printable pages. For the night before.
- The revision guide — the full written guide as a PDF, for reading away from a screen or printing in one go.
Inside the module:
- 61 authorities — 43 cases and 17 provisions, each provision carrying the regime it belongs to, when to cite it, and the exact words to write.
- 86 flashcards.
- The hard cap, quoted from OCR's own June 2024 mark scheme: "At least 1 suggestion for reform is required in order to achieve Level 4 marks for AO3." It is the single most valuable sentence in this topic and most students have never seen it.
- Six 20-mark questions, each with a plan and three written answers at Levels 2, 3 and 4.
- Four scored drills, including section-to-effect over all 17 provisions, which is where this topic is actually won.
- A which-regime decision tree, a three-stage exclusion analysis, a 41-entry case chronology, and reform proposals argued both ways — because a reform you cannot argue against is no use at Level 4.
Why it's different
Two things on the specification have never been examined: classification of terms and the whole UCTA non-consumer limb. We tell you that, and we tell you what it means for how you spend your time. Twenty-four cases are declared unverified on the page rather than presented as checked.
Works on your phone. Dark mode. Prints cleanly.
