The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal on the ground that Marsh remained binding authority. According to R v Hughes, an offence under 3ZB of the Road Traffic Act required proof that it was the appellant’s fault which contributed to the death of the victim. In the case, it was concluded that Mr Taylor’s driving was not at fault. In Williams, the offence charged was the same as R v Hughes and the trial judge concluded that the fault was not a component of the offence. This ruling was upheld by the Court of Appeal. The Court of Appeal decided to apply Marsh and hence overturned the ruling of …show more content…
In the case R v Taylor distinguish meant how far the reasoning is applicable to the offence under Section 12A of the Theft Act. This was because of differences between the offences created by section 3ZB of the Road Traffic Act 1998 and Section 12A of the Theft Act 1968. Moreover, there was a difference in the statutory language which created them. A range of differences were highlighted. Firstly, Section 12A of the Theft Act states that the defendant should have taken the vehicle without consent. Secondly, the death of a victim is not an offence according to the Theft Act 1968. The third point is that in section 3ZB a death of an individual is an offence yet according to section 12A of the Theft Act the driving can be classed as ‘merely

They reasoned that since Barnett didn’t either argue against the dismissal of negligence claim at the time of its dismissal or include the claim in subsequent revisions, she had no support for her claim that the court had erred in dismissing her claim of negligence. The court also ruled that the language of section 3-108(b) of the Tort Immunity Act meant that complete, unconditional immunity was to be offered if supervision was present. As a result of this interpretation, the issue of if the lifeguards had committed willful and wanton misconduct was rendered irrelevant. Since the issues of material fact raised by the appellant weren’t actually issues of material fact, the Supreme Court affirmed the District and Appellate Court’s motion and subsequent affirmation of summary

In the case, R. v. Hibbert , the appellant is Lawrence Hibbert and the respondent is Her Majesty, the Queen. Although there are multiple legal issues outlined in this case, the legal issue that is of concern is focused on the mens rea of party liability under s. 21 , and the meaning behind the phrase “for the purpose of aiding”. This case is significant due to the fact it highlights the interpretations of particular terms, which ultimately lead to a new trial.
This essay will examine the main cause of the demise of the derivative claim which is the possibility of pursuing a corporate relief and even costs via an unfair prejudice petition, a relief and order that was initially only available via derivative action. Further this essay will discuss as to how the boundaries between the statutory derivative action and the unfair prejudice should be drawn and what restrictions should be added to the unfair prejudice remedy under section 994 of the Companies Act 2006 so that the significance of the statutory derivative action can be reinstated.
In Criminal cases, the general principle is that when it comes to proving the guilt of an accused person, the burden of proving this rests with the prosecution . In the case of Woolmington v DPP , it was stated in the judgment of Lord Sankey that; “Throughout the web of the English Criminal law one golden thread is always to be seen, that is the duty of the prosecution to prove the prisoner’s guilt subject to….. the defence of insanity and subject also to any statutory exception”. From the Judgment of Lord Sankey, the following circumstances where the accused bears the legal burden of proof in criminal cases were established; where the accused pleads the defence of insanity, where a statute or Act of Parliament expressly imposes the legal burden of proof on the defence, and where a statute or Act of Parliament impliedly imposes the legal burden of proof on the defence. An accused person will also bear the legal burden of proof of the statutory defence of diminished responsibility which is covered by section 2(2) Homicide Act 1957. In the cases of Lambert Ali and Jordan , the Court of Appeal held that imposing the legal burden of proof of proving diminished responsibility on the defence does not infringe Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

In the case of R v Maloney, Lord Bridge said that it would be enough in the vast majority of cases for a judge to ask the jury to consider whether the prosecution had persuaded them that the defendant had intended a particular criminal consequence. It must be questioned whether intending to harm a person in a non-severe manner, should be the mens rea of an offence as dangerous and morally repugnant as murder.
