Anybody know how many marks you'll lose for an incorrect conclusion on Calvins liability to Adam? Now I've sat and thought about it he didn't meet the immediate fear requirement so never actually formed the AR of the offence.. Therefore wouldn't be liable!

Looking at previous markschemes this seems to only reduce it from sound to weak sound?

I thought Q1 was asking for quite honestly. My friends were a bit upset after the exam, and one made the fatal mistake of using automatism in replace of diminished responsibility. She is completely freaking out! For the gang, I put that it did break the chain of causation. Although the factual causation between Adam and Calvin is present, the gang kicking him in the head was the substantial cause for his loss of movement, and is therefore an intervening act.

Thank you

and fair enough XD would you be able to help me with Unit 4. I dont quite understand how to structure an answer on burgularly when it involves criminal damager and theft, by that i mean should i talk about those two first and then bring the charge from theft and CD up to burgularly?

Whenever there is theft, always make sure to bring that up first. Then you would talk about the burglary in relation to the theft (s 91 b), and then go on to describe the criminal damage

Do insanity, consent and automatism come up as defences on unit 4? The textbook says they don't but my teacher has included them into our revision guides

I am pretty sure all 5 from Unit 3 can come up. My teacher taught us to learn maybe 2/3 cases for each, and a brief description so if they do, you have the info ready

My school didn't do morality :frown:

the other two I have are judicial creativity and fault, I'm not sure which out of those is most likely to come up really

I mean because they came up last year I doubt they will this- justice has an habit of repeating
