Difference between section 188(1) & (2), Intent vs Outcome? #

A

Under section 188, subsection (1) and (2) both relate to actions that result in wounding, maiming, disfiguring, or GBH to the victim. So the outcome is the same; the distinction between the two subsections is the offender’s intent.

The Doctrine of Transferred Malice? #

A

It is not necessary that the person suffering the harm was the intended victim. Where the defendant mistakes the identity of the person injured, or where harm intended for one person is accidentally inflicted on another, he is still criminally responsible, under the Doctrine of Transferred Malice, despite the wrong target being struck.

Define GBH Delayed? #

A

You need to be mindful that all that is required for the actus reus is an act of causing GBH. The link between cause and effect is a physical one, not one of time. Usually of course the effect is instant (a blow causes a wound). But it is not necessarily so. The consequence may be delayed, but they are consequences, nonetheless.

Define R v Taisalika and what it refers to? #

A

In R v Taisalika the defendant crashed a party and in an unprovoked attack, struck a party goer on the side of the head with glass causing a serious gash to the victim’s temple and multiple cuts to his face. Taisalika argued that he was so intoxicated he could not remember the incident and therefore lacked the required intent.

The courts found that the nature of the blow and the gash which it produced on the complainant’s head would strongly point to the presence of the necessary intent.
