More revision. May Twelve

So I took out 'A Streetcar Named Desire'. Need to read it in full. AND SEE THE FILM. SKY NEED TO SHOW IT!!! !!!1qQ!!!1qQ!!!1qQ!!!1qQ!!!1qQ!!!1qQ

Yes, finally copy and paste works too.

Revised for law - duress and necessity.
Key cases: Cole, Valderamma-Vega, Howe, Wright, Cole, Graham, Quayle, Shepherd, Dudley and Stephens etc etc etc.

Duress: Scope - It's a complete defence, except to murder and attempted murder and treason. If argued successfully, it results in a complete acquittal.

Duress - Limitations:
Have to believe threat - Graham test
Must be threat of death/serious injury - Valderamma-Vega - can add stuff, if this threat exists = cumulative duress
Must be against you/someone you feel reasonably responsible for - Wright
Must be imminent - Abdul-Hussain
Must be specific threat - Cole

Also Graham test - Does D believe threat. Would RM believe it - problems because 'reasonable firmness - crosses into subjective and case of Bowen - can't take temporary features into account - no IQ etc.

Also self-induced - Howe, Shepherd, Heath
Can't usually argue if you put yourself in situation of violence. But if you don't know group is violent, like Shepherd, you may be allowed it.


Duress of Circumstances - Martin (Colin) Result from the circumstances, not the threat that D finds themselves in. Conway - believed threat. Safi - believed threat coming from fact he was intellectual being persecuted.

Necessity - Kitson, Re: S, Re:M, Re:A 'choice between the lesser of 2 evils'. D had to have done everything to avoid irrepairable or serious harm.
Criticised as same as duress of circumstances. ALSO, used a lot in civil cases - medical like Re:A - only obiter - never been accepted by criminal law.

Law Commisson - consultation - said duress should only be partial, should only reduce liability
Full report - said duress should be full defence - acquittal
Shows changes between consultation and proper report.


So overall, that's duress. I get it - I'm quite surprised. We did intoxication the other day.

Voluntary - Basic - Majewski, Lipman and Specific like Beard and Dutch Courage like Gallagher
Involuntary - Kingston.
And mistake - O'Grady and Hutton

And I got that too!!!

And we've done attempts, burglary, theft and consent. So I'm alright on all those I think.
Need to go over involuntary manslaughter again for the synoptic.
And cases!! Need to know all these.

But overall, tis good. Just need to get media and history out the way. Can't revise much for English, just conventions of drama, poetry and prose.

So it's all looking goooooooooooooooood!!!!!!!!!!
