Consent
Rv Donovan Battery can be lawful by
consent
Rv Slingsby Cannot consent to
manslaughter
Real Consent Burrell v Harmer Consent must be real –
tattooing of a 12- and
13-year-old – they did not
have the mental capacity to
understand
Gillick v West Norfolk Created the idea of Gillick
competence – a minor can
consent if they can prove they
understand the risk
involved.
True Consent Rv Richardson Dentist lost licence to
practise, they said they would
not have consented if they
had known – trained and
treatment was fine = not
guilty (true consent)
Rv Tabassam Women consented to have
breast measurements taken,
believing the D to be a real
doctor. Deception = not true
consent
