Practical Legal Writing Exam - LPC - BPP

Hi everyone,

I've just completed my practical legal writing exam and I realised that I did not follow the marking criteria correctly. In essence, the letter was for a client (non-lawyer and it wasn't going to the company's in-house counsel) and I specifically mentioned/discussed case law several times in my written work. Apart from that, the letter was written in plain English and does not have legalese. I was wondering if someone was deemed 'competent' in the past despite not following this part of this marking criteria? For the sake of reference, I study the LPC at BPP.

Thank you!
