| Oblique intent | conflicting decisions in Matthews and Allenyne |

| Reforms? | -Only the new suggested murder structure system |
| Evaluations of General defences | - |
| Intoxication | -Only for specific intent and the distinction is unclear (R v Heard, sexual assault) -Lord Justice Hughes "large element of policy when categorising offences" -Majewski, M/R is subjective, Majewski is objective, we don't find out what they were thinking we tell them -Most crimes are basic, conflict because they involve intent, but only serious crimes can use defence, can be seen as encouragingly these acts when drunk |
| Impact | -Consent; Richardson and Irwin, victim consented to horseplay when he was drunk, was this genuine consent? -Rape law, no exact test -Insanity, Davism Beard, confirmed intoxication can be basis of disease of the mind |
| Reform | Law Commission Report on Intoxication and Criminal Liability 2009 "Keep Majewski rule, replace basic and specific intent with integral fault elements. Majewski rule would apply to anything that isn't integral fault (not reckless) -Co-dify the kingston defintion -If you have intention prior you cannot use the defence |
| IMPACT | -Sexual assault would become specific due to integral fault, so can claim. -Sexual assault may be redefining as judges in R v Heard said parliament would not have wanted it changed to specific as it gives a defence Easier to make distinction between when it can and can't be used. -little affect on other offences |
| Consent | - |
| Inconsistent results | Tabassum and Richardson. Both obtained by fraud. Tabassum- fake doctor Richardson- struck off dentist |
| What is genuine consent? | Dica- you can consent above a battery Brown- You cannot consent above a battery; restricts individuals freedom |
| Euthanasia | Pretty; wanted to die For: Comparison argument -Right to die, Bland (Painful death) -Quality of life Against: Duty to kill -New Zealand, many umarked -Sancity of life -Slippery slope |
| Reform | Law commission report on sexual offences 1995 "all consent should be valid except for death and serious disabling harm" = more than GBH, |
| Impacts | effects would be minimal as it is a position the law already reflects for most parts. However, would help issues such as Brown. |
