Exercise
We consider crime as an offence against community, punishable by the state
We may classify crimes in various ways. We may divide them into two main groups:
i… offences and s…. offences. Before Criminal Law Act 1967 they divided
indictable offences into three categories:
Exercise
The Act abolished the distinction. A judge may sentence a person to
imprisonment. Anybody may make an arrest without warrant The prosecution must prove beyond
reasonable doubt that the accused is guilty. (It…)
They presume the accused to be innocent until proved to be guilty (The accused…)
They may exempt a person from criminal liability It might reduce the charge of murder to one of
manslaughter. They may punish incitement, assisting offenders,
concealing offences, or giving false information according to special rules of law.
The change provoked plenty of hostility. They would consider her now to be suffering from
diminished responsibility. They have taught us to recognize the shades of
grey, rather than to see things in black and white. A doctor has killed an incurably ill patient by an
overdose of drugs They kept him alive on a respirator.
We must punish a man who has committed a murder.
They should conduct research into criminal personality and the causes of crime.
We hand only the sanest criminals. We should take measures to reduce the murder rate. They will admit that its only merit is that of
vengeance.
We may define marriage as the voluntary union for life of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others.
English law recognizes judicial divorce Law regards marriage as binding for life. The Family Reform Act has lowered the age
of majority to eighteen.
If they perform the ceremony, it is not valid. They need not give consent in any particular
form. If we comply with the rules relating to affinity
and age, the marriage will not be void. Mental incapacity negates consent. The Mental Health Act swept away all
classification of the mentally ill.
Contracting parties do not determine the rules governing marriage
They would only grant the divorce to the “innocent” party
Many regard marriage as an attempt at finding a life-partner
They have granted probate of the Will to Mr. A. R.Brown
The Will entitles you to a legacy Pecuniary legatees will share the estate They will sell the remainder of the assets
Every state commits acts of selfishness Foreign offices treat questions of
international law as legal questions They have violated no rule. They perceive the Court to have pursued a
vigorous policy of integration We should avoid any simple theory or
explanation of its role.
They may call the Court to adjudicate matters of constitutional significance
Agreement may confer upon it other kinds of jurisdiction
We define a contract as “a legally binding agreement”
The state does not punish torts One person ownes such a business Partners share profits and losses Only a government grant can create a
corporation.
We can obtain a remedy in two ways
