The above teams will compete in the Intra-University Moot Competition at time and date that will be announced in the near future.

As there were no submissions from 4th year students a “wildcard” bracket has been established. The wildcard teams had the four highest scores of the remaining competitors. The winner of this bracket will be in the semi-final round but will not be considered class champion.

The two teams that submitted late briefs were penalized 10 marks as opposed to suffering immediate disqualification. However, both late entries did not qualify based on their resulting scores.

All other teams that submitted briefs will be invited to make oral arguments for evaluation and feedback.

Thank you for your excellent participation in the brief writing phase!
