STRUCTURE
Intro
This question will discuss XYZ. I will discuss XYZ’s liability for XYZ (repeat). I will
discuss this in chronological order to what appears in the scenario.

Person

Actus Reus – get to issues quick
Conduct
Circumstance
Result

Mens Rea
Intent
Did they know they were a person (or simply no mens rea) if not construct liability!

Defences

Partial defences if murder

Conclusion
Overall, on the facts it is likely XYZ is liable for XYZ. XYZ would be acquitted based on
the defence of XYZ.

, ACTUS REUS
Conduct
- Movement or lack of
- Conduct via omission
1. Offence capable of commission by omission  homicide, OAP, Property
2. Duty to act  legally recognised
a. Duty based on definition  road traffic act, failure to report accident
Dytham [1979]
b. Duty to act on contract  Pittwood
c. Familial relationship  Parent child Gibbins and Proctor, Married
couple Hood didn’t help wife broken bones
d. Assumption of care  Nicholls, take care of someone voluntarily,
Instan implicit
e. Duty to act on endangerment  Miller cigarette, Evans didn’t aid
sister and duty arose from contribution, Matthews and Alleyne
pushed into river didn’t help
3. Breach of that duty  Stone and Dobinson reasonable person standard,
Did D do what was reasonable based on standard of competent person

Circumstance
- Can have circumstances such as V must be 18 or must be a female

Result
- Certain consequences of the conduct
a. Natural events
- Basic rules causation is attributed to the defendant unless the event was not
reasonably foreseeable
- Hart  D assaulted V leaving her unconscious below high water mark, V
drowned, D caused death as D would not have killed V had she not been left
lying there
-

Factual cause
- BUT FOR  R v White “But for X, Y would not have”
- Benge  doesn’t have to be sole cause

Legal cause
- Substantial R v Kimsey  X’s conduct was more than de minimis
- Blameworthy R v Hughes  X’s conduct is blameworthy
- Operating cause R v Smith  X’s conduct was a substantial cause at the time
(NOVUS ACTUS?)

Legal causation - Novus Actus

Intervention from defendant
- D stabs someone and they don’t die but when in hospital gives COVID and they
die of COVID don’t group Le Brun

Intervention from natural events

, - D attacks V and leaves them for them to be hit by falling tree only liable for
what was caused not death

Intervention from victim
1. Foreseeability  was V’s reaction foreseeable Roberts  courts rarely say V’s
action daft. Wont be legal cause if unforeseeable
2. Voluntariness  V act freely, voluntarily and informed. Kennedy (No.2) if
administer own drugs then chain broke but if you administer not Cato, Field
misled into mixing drugs and alcohol
3. Vulnerability  egg shell skull, take them as you find them. Blaue  didn’t give
blood to Jehovah’s guilty

coincide with AR DUFF(Moloney didn’t have)
