If you could repeal one law, what would it be and why?

I would stress it doesn’t need to be something commercial. It could just be something you can talk about with interest/enthusiasm.

I am struggling to creatively come up with an answer for this in a commercial context, please could someone help? Thank you
Hey @VanessaRH,

What are your thoughts on this so far?

Are there any activities that you believe should be less regulated? Where do your interests lie?

I definitely agree with Jess on this, I really do not think that it has to be commercial at all. In many ways, trying to write about something particular to you would be preferable as it gives the firm an insight into your personality (and your unique strengths).

Very happy to continue discussing this if it would be helpful 🧑‍🍳

Agree with @Jessica Booker and @George Maxwell. You could go with any law, commercial or non-commercial, as long as you're able to successfully walk the reader through your thought process and argument. Ensure you structure your answer really well. The way I'd recommend you to go about it is to state the law you would like to repeal ➡️ briefly go through the purpose it was intended to serve ➡️ evaluate whether it serves this purpose and/or its benefits are balanced against any costs that that come with its implementation ➡️ round your answer off with a brief sentence stating your core reasons for repealing the law. Does this make sense?
