NFO in law

June 2012 Question 4 Discuss the criminal liability of Jameela and of Leah arising out of the Incidents in the town. First ot all in that respect is a battery with the initial contact that Jameela has on Ken. The AR of battery is infliction of unlawful violence. Battery is defined as being the slightest smirch without permission as In the campaign of Cole v Turner, the knocking in to Ken is this touch without his permission. When she knocked into Ken this light-emitting diode to him to fall. This is an ABH as this battery led to further damage with Ken falling down.The AR of ABH Is common assault occasioning In actual bodily harm. Miller defines this as any damage or Injury calculated to interfere with the health or comfort of the V, in which the falling down would cause Ken to experience some temper with falling to the ground. However this fall resulted In Ken breaking his hip. This Is a GBH S20 as this break would restrain caused him to go to hospital. The AR of G3H S20 Is ca using wound or G3H. There isnt a wound and therefore there is only grievous bodily harm.The case of smith defines grievous as meaning really somber harm hich includes broken bones. The case of Bollom states that the seriousness of the harm scales with the age of the victim, as Ken in this scenario Is elderly man the seriousness of the fall was serious as his body Is weaker and therefore there Is more damage that is done, affecting the graveness of the injury. Therefore the AR of GBH S20 has been established. Then there Is the liability of the heart attack the Kens wife (Iris) suttered when he got knocked down.Again this is a G3H S20 and the AR is stated above. It is a GBH S20 as the harm that was caused was serious as it caused Iris many weeks to recover. Again the case of 30110m help as the age of Iris comes in to play when affecting the seriousness. There isnt any causation issues as the chain isnt broken as the thin skull rules that defects that werent known to he D, Haystead d oesnt break the chain and therefore It doesnt matter that Iris may have had a bad heart there is still is a chain of causation.Even though Jameela didnt directly inflict the GBH S20 the case of Martin states that it can be caused indirectly in which watching her husband fall and get hurt indirectly caused her to have a heart attack. The AR of GBH S20 has been established for Iris The MR of GBH is direct intention or subjective recklessness causing some harm, defined by the case of Mowatt. Some harm can be Interpreted as anything as small as a battery. For the GdH s20 on Ken, subjective recklessness can be used as in the case of Cunningham. hich states that first there has to be and unjustified risk and that the D had taken this risk anyway. In this case Jameela was In a large crowd and started lashing out knowing that there would be a risk that she would hit someone and cause some of the harrn Jameela ould have perceived this risk as she was in a large crown knowing that this would make her panic because of the delusions that she has due to her paranoid schizophrenia.Transferred malice can be used as a way of proving the MR of G8H S20 on Iris as well. Transferred malice can only be used on psyche to person with similar crime, in which this scenario is and theretore it can be used. The case ot Mitchell can be used as it is similar as this case as the D as in busy place and the action that they took led to an old person breaking a hip. Transfer malice would be usband hurt on the radical and therefore the MR of the offence on Ken is transferred over to Iris as well.Therefore there is the MR of GBH S2 established for both Ken and Iris. When Leah intervened she would have first committed a battery as she would have had to grab hold of Jameela in some form. The AR of battery is stated above. The case of Thomas states that the slightest touch even of vesture is enough for a battery, in which Leah may have grabbed Jameela by the top as a way of trying to control he r on which would be a battery. Then there is an ABH, again stated above, as
