Question: Explain what the current law is relating to the defence of consent to non-fatal offences against the person and critically analyse the approaches taken by Lord Templeman and Lord Mustill in R v Brown [1994] 1 AC 212.

“In principle there is a difference between violence which is incidental and violence which is inflicted for the indulgence of cruelty.” Per Lord Templeman in R v Brown [1994] 1 AC 212.

“What I do say is that these are questions of private morality; that the standards by which they fall to be judged are not those of the criminal law…….. I regard the task as one which the courts are not suited to perform, and which should be carried out, if at all, by Parliament…. The only question is whether these consensual private acts are offences against the existing law of violence. To this question I return a negative response.” Per Lord Mustill in R v Brown [1994] 1 AC 212.

Question: The local authority of Two Peaks has decided to move its archives into a purpose built warehouse. The local authority enters into a contract with ‘Dale Cooper Construction Company’, which specialises in warehouse construction.
Bob works at the construction site, operating the crane. One morning, Bob comes late to work. He had been drinking heavily the night before. Bob begins work, and releases a heavy steel rod, which pierces the roof of the almost complete warehouse and kills Mike. Laura was also working in the warehouse, and she was next to Mike when he got killed. Both Laura and Bob develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) because of the accident. The impact of the steel rod causes structural damage to the warehouse, which remains undetected until a few months later, when the archives of the local authority have already been moved into storage. Ahmed, a PhD student who requires access to these archives for his research, cannot complete his PhD. His visa expires, and he has to return to his home country. Because he has failed his PhD, he cannot get a good job, as he was hoping to. He sues the local authority of Two Peaks for ruining his career.
