Hey guys do you think I included everything
I answered Scenario 2 and thought the exam was okay, time was the main issue. This is the offences I done:
Question 4
S.47 ABH, I mentioned how intoxication doesn't apply as ABH is basic intent, I then mentioned consent, and how Jim wouldn't be liable as horseplay is a public exception policy.
S.20 GBH, I mentioned how intoxication means that it would be S.20 not S.18.
S.47 ABH, I mentioned how intoxication doesn't apply as it's basic intent. Included DPP V K to show indirect batter.
Also discussed causation issues
Question 5
Murder - Discussed Sir Coke's definition. Intention to cause GBH used Woolin and Vicker.
Diminished Responsibility - Camplin; age and characteristics can be taken into accont.
Loss of Control - Mentioned Aluwali and mentioned how the defendant likley felt seriosoly wronged and feared serious violence.
Question 6
Insanity Problems - M'Naugten rules are outdated created with limited knowledge, social stigma with insane, D has to prove on balance of probabilities which is against EU 'Innocent until proven guilty' overlap with automatism, position of diabetics and other medical conditions. Insanity Reforms - Change to 'not guilty by reasons of mental disorder' and update legal definition to be the same as medical definition.
Consent Problems - Should 'Horesplay' really be a public exception policy, hard for jury to find if consent was true and what if V felt pressure to give consent
