The exam was great but its still bugging me that I might have messed it all up. On the writting paper I put both section A answer and section B answer under the header 'Please write section A answer here'. After finishing my section B question I noticed this mistake. So I clearly marked what section each question was by placing my own headers, as well as writing a note to the examinor explain the where the answers where.

Will they still mark both questions? It will bug me all summer until results day! :frown:

I also made this mistake, I don't think they will take much notice of it - it would have been impossible for me to squash all of the essay into 10 sides (I did about 13), as I have really big writing/spaces as it enables me to write very fast, I wouldn't worry too much.

A) accurate
B) accurate
C) inaccurate (on the ball consent)
D) I said inaccurate because he hit him on thr head and his jaw broken

For those who did assault, did anyone get-

Accurate - as long as V apprehended harm (although arguably the 'mate' could have negated the threat depending on it's manner spoken) - Tuberville
Accurate - It was a battery - unless between them it was considered 'jostlings' of ordinary life - Wilson & Pringle
Not Accurate - there was no wounding caused i.e. break in the continuation of the skin
Accurate - gbh - really serious harm - breaking of jaw constitutes this, specific intent crime and he had intention

Assault first one I didn't mention negate but gd point
Punch is battery but I didn't mention jostlings of ordinary life
What there was nothing about wounding im sure it just said s.18, it was a consent issue off the ball
And as for the last one its debatable

s18. is gbh/malicious wounding? -> to be guilty there must be a wound - wound means break in the continuity of the skin, as seen in eisenhower, wood etc. ------------- tbh oapa isn't my strongest topic so i could be completely off

What did you put? They asked specifically about s18 that's why I spoke about it?

For either s20 or s18, it is GBH or wounding, not GBH and wounding - you can have one without the other. The only difference between the offences is the level of mens rea.

Did you see my post at the bottom of the previous page? I don't understand why people are bringing consent up when the question doesn't ask for it, the mark schemes and examiners simply want you to deal with the statement at face value, you're not meant to bring up e.g. consent unless it specifically mentions consent in the statement.

Because you can't be guilty of gbh on the ball incident in rugby- consent

I'm sure you've smashed the essay and problem question, some nice topics this year. :smile:

I'm in a similar position, need 59 UMS for an A. I'll only be around on this thread for a couple more days as I am now focusing on philosophy which are my 2 final exams.

You don't seem to understand what I'm saying, if the statement asks you to consider liability for s20, they want you to consider ONLY the offence, they are not asking about any potential defences - they want you to take the statement at face value, is D liable for GBH s20, if you focus solely on the act committed and the intention - ignoring any defences, as I mentioned unless the statement refers to a defence.

Thank you! But I think an A* is most certainly out of the question haha :tongue:

the feeling of relief of getting this exam out the way is the best though, it's been taking up all my time!
