Description
"This is the seventh edition of this book. A number of interesting developments have occurred since the last edition. Some of the highlights are as follows: Most noteworthy is the case of Ivey v Genting (2017) in which the Supreme Court returned dishonesty to its pre Ghosh (1982) meaning. Two cases on joint enterprise - Mitchell (2018) and Tas (2018), typify the persisting problems governing joint enterprise post Jogee (2016). Tas also raises questions about the continued significance of Rafferty (2007) on supervening acts. Likewise Wallace raises its own questions about the notion of a voluntary act in the context of breaking the chain of causation most notably raised in Kennedy (2007). Loake v CPS [2017] EWHC 2855 (Admin) DC makes an important clarification of how insanity is a general defence and not limited to crimes of mens rea. R v Kay (2017) addresses the question of the relationship between psychosis and intoxication for the purpose of diminished responsibility. Ray (2017) affirms the ruling in Collins (2015) on the question of reasonableness in householder cases and Cheeseman (2019 rules that the householder defence is available to a person who had caused injury to another person who had entered a premises lawfully but had then become a trespasser. Finally two cases on consent in the context of non fatal offences against the person. Melin (2019) qualifies Richardson (1999) on the effect of fraudulent misrepresentation on apparent consent in cases involving surgical operations and comparable activities. R v BM makes an important clarification of the need for non clinical forms of body alteration to satisfy the public interest. I would like to express my grateful thanks to Roma Dash, Archana Makhija and all the team at Pearson for their patience and professionalism"--
