Drink, drugs and law reform: a review of Law Commission Report No.314
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 15:33 authored by John ChildThis article reviews the 2009 Law Commission report on Intoxication and Criminal Liability. Focusing on voluntary intoxication, the article assesses whether the Commission's reformulation of the specific/basic intent distinction will resolve the problems with the current law. Further, it also discusses the Commission's treatment of intoxicated defendants who assist or encourage another person to commit an offence. The article concludes that although the Report sets out a defensible approach, a series of exceptions to that approach ultimately undermine its appeal.
