Sceanrio 1
A battery by Adam towards Brandon i.e application of unlawful force when he was hit, which occasioned ABH, more than trivial as to be wholly insignificant.
Defence of Consent in relation to sporting activity and rough horseplay in realtion to the above
battery/ABHOffence of battery, occasioning ABH in relation to Calvin, applciation of unlawful force though the push and loss of consciousness (DPP V T).
Self defence/prevention of crime for pre-emptive strik but this would fail as the danger had passed e.g (asleep)argue would not be liable for GBH as it was a NAI
Assault by Calvin to Adam satisfied as he was in fear thats why he attacked him
Q2
Murder for Deon as the causation in fact established (White) , argue the actions of Fillipe may amount to NAI if operative and substantial (Smith). Mens rea to at least intend to cause serious harm (GBH) ether is sufficient (Vickers). It was his MAPD to cause serious harm by squeezing her neck.
Special defence of Diminished Responsibility, vivind halluciantions, RMC = Alcohol Dependant Syndrome (Wood), cant form rational judgement as he thought she was a monsterMention intoxcation, that the courts should ingnore all intoxcation to see if D would still commit the offence (DiDuca)
GNM satisfied easilly, DOC = Vol assumption, Breach = Fell below standard, will be gross and most likely established causation
