Yeah.

Sorry for double post but need to bump this.

Just going to put this here in case anyone finds it useful for Q1- haven't included Whybrow as it was January's case question.
ETA: Added Whybrow to the case list, although as it was January's case question, it almost certainly won't appear next week.

Haha, you're welcome.
I attached a couple of other things written up from some notes we were given at college, just in case they're helpful. (There's more to say for Q2 and it's hard to expand the paragraphs when you don't know what the question/quote is, but yeah, there's some generic points that you could use in that sheet.)

I will be forever in your gratitude - fantastic resource.

Thank you very much! Just out of curiosity did you do the exam yourself in January?

You're welcome. And nope, my college normally does do the special study in January, but they switched it around this year- so I did criminal law in January, and next week is my first (and last ) sitting of the Attempts paper.

Well, I'm extremely worried about this one truly clueless on where to start/how to revise for it - seems a very different kettle of fish to G153. I think I can get set up for the first question and the dilemmas at the end, but truly clueless on the essay. My teacher had to leave due to illness after G153 so I've had absoloutley appalling teaching for G154. I think with the essays I might just have to generalise, and hope. This seems so difficult compared to G153....

for Q1- shivpuri is more than likely to appear as no particular reference to it in the jan 2012 paper.

for Q2- most likely to occur on mens rea, looking at mohan, whybrow, conditional intent and recklessness. No particular reform on MR. but can apply reforms from G153.

- also possibility of merging mr and ar , looking at a certain set of cases.

Q3- not worth discussing.

Good effort. Cheers mate.

I'd have said: Q1) Geddes, Gullefer or Jones
Q2) Mens rea and Impossibility. As Jack said above, possibility of Mens rea and actus reus- though this is more doubtful. It's also doubtful that it'll be purely mens rea, because really there's not a lot to talk about: Whybrow and attempted murder. Ordinary intent (Pearman/Mohan/Walker and Hayles/ Woollin), Recklessness (A-G ref number 3, 94 and Khan), Conditional intent (Easom, Husseyn, A-G REF number 1+2) Impossibility pre:Anderton and ryan, after Shivpuri/ Taffee etc.
Q3) Obviously, no real prediction here

Not done it fully, this is more rough- but a basic idea.

Brilliant. Thanks Alkain.

[Alkain1607]

No problem, like I said- just rough- if you find any interesting quotes from mens rea case studies- they always help Lord Bridge stated that the use of the '1966 Practice statement is an a effective abandonment of our principle of infallibility.' etc. Good luck in the exam mate.

[Alkain1607]

Just so you know, in case you're wondering what that question got, it was an 'A'
