Additional information
This detailed and comprehensive article is the first to consider the practical and doctrinal implications of s.43 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013, with particular emphasis on the inter-relationship between the self-defence and loss of control. The author proposes a self-preservation/psychological self-defence predicated on the notion of excessive utilisation of force in self-defence as in New South Wales, supplemented with a ‘social framework’ provision, akin to that in Victoria.
