Yes, section A, A02

It depends what grade you are aiming for...
For the self defence booklet, for the criticisms my teacher gave us 19 points which are all further developed, i'd say at least above 10 points

Could someone please tell me what the difference is between absolute liability offences and state of affaires?

For section B questions, after you've explained the law, when you apply it to the scenario, how long should the application part be? Would 4-6 lines for each person do?

- Should there be a Good Samaritan law?
- Problems in deciding when a duty exists, in Khan and Khan, the court said obiter duty situations could be extended to other areas - Makes the law uncertain

That's all I know off the top of my head

If we were to get a question on omissions and I only included those three points but in depth, would it be enough do you think?

Highly unlikely omissions will come up since it came last year, still a chance though. Considering 20 marks are available for evaluation, I'd say you need about 3-4 well developed points

It didnt come up last year.....
The last time omissions actually came up was in January 2012 so it highly likely it could come up

I'm hoping theft comes up, or even something like involuntary manslaughter or something from the defences section, I can't get my head around murder though. :s-smilie:

What is it you can't get your head around re: murder?

Mmmm, for section A omissions, strict liability and one other topic. For section B homicide and probably non-fatel offences. Not sure about section c
Im still confused about the evaluation points for section A. I dont know how many to include

As 20 marks are available do you think 4-5 well developed points would be okay? maybe 5 marks per developed point?

Hmm, I guess so you mean linking it to a relevant case etc?
