PROPERTY: Example exam answer (received an A)
- this is a transcript from last year's june exam that received an A 
 
- it serves as a useful guide to see how questions can be answered and in what depth 
 
- this paper dealt a problem questions that involved several parties and the mandament van spolie 
 
 
note: 'appurtenances' as seen on the first page of my answer is a real word so I'm not sure why the marker underlined it lol. 'Incident of possession' is also a correct term that was taken from one of the quizzes
