Ross v Lord Advocate Gordon Ross, who died in January 2016,1 was a retired television producer who prior to his death resided in a care home, living with diabetes, heart problems, Parkinson’s disease and peripheral neuropathy.2 In Ross v Lord Advocate, Lord Carloway outlined the dilemma which Mr Ross faced in the following terms:3 He anticipates that there will come a time when he will not wish to continue living, as he will find his infirmity and consequent dependence on others intolerable. He would require assistance to commit suicide because of his physical state. He is apprehensive that anyone who assisted him would be liable to prosecution. He considers that he may require to take action to end his life himself, sooner than he would otherwise wish to, in order to avoid living on in an undignified and distressing condition.

  • In Scots Law
    1 When the Exception is the Rule: Rationalising the ‘Medical Exception’ in Scots Law 2 I. INTRODUCTION No medical practitioner who performs a legitimate medical operation on a patient (in the course of competently carrying out the duties of their profession)1 commits a delict or a criminal offence.2 This is so in spite of the fact that to infringe the bodily integrity of another person is plainly both a crime3 and a civil wrong.4 Notwithstanding the fact that the patient may desire the operation, the ‘defence’ of consent cannot possibly justify the serious injuries intentionally inflicted in the course of an operation to effect a kidney transplant, or to amputate a limb, or even to insert a stent, since these procedures are highly invasive and effect irreversible changes to the physicality of the patient(s).5 The ‘medical exception’ has consequently and consistently been invoked by legal commentators when considering cases of invasive surgery, or procedures which involve serious wounding.6 Since consent is no defence to serious assault,7 this exception to the general rule that to inflict such is to commit a crime must be justified by means other than an appeal to the 1 ‘Proper’ medical treatment is a prerequisite: Margaret Brazier and Sara Fovargue, Transforming Wrong into Right: What is ‘Proper Medical Treatment’?, in Sara Fovargue and Alexandra Mullock, The Legitimacy of Medical Treatment: What Role for the Medical Exception, (London: Routledge, 2016), p.12 2 See, generally, Sara Fovargue and Alexandra Mullock, The Legitimacy of Medical Treatment: What Role for the Medical Exception, (London: Routledge, 2016), passim.

(Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of LL.M. (by Research) School of Law College of Social Sciences University of Glasgow October 2017 Abstract This thesis reviews both the history and current comparative landscape of the law of assault with a view to determining the optimal approach to be taken by Scots law in structuring its crime of assault. There is very little in the current literature offering either kind of review, and equally there has been very little analysis of the desirability of a single offence versus other methods of structuring assault or non-fatal offences against the person generally. These issues are therefore addressed in this paper, starting with an extensive examination of the legal history surrounding breaches of physical integrity from the seventeenth century right up to the present day.

  • Assisted Suicide (Scotland) Bill Response to Question Paper: the Position Under Existing Scots Criminal Law 1
    Assisted Suicide (Scotland) Bill Response to Question Paper: The Position under Existing Scots Criminal Law 1. Thank you for your email of 28 January inviting me to answer several questions regarding the criminal law of Scotland in relation to assisted suicide. I have done so below, as fully as possible in the time available. Although this is a relatively lengthy note, the core conclusion is a simple one: the scope of the criminal law in this area cannot be stated with any degree of certainty whatsoever. Introductory comments 2. The initial difficulty with answering the questions raised by the committee is that the most fundamental issue arising in this context is unclear. Remarkably, it is not known whether or not suicide is itself a criminal offence in Scots law. This uncertainty colours the entire debate thereafter, as follows: • If suicide is itself a criminal offence in Scots law, then the criminal liability of anyone who assists in a suicide falls to be determined by applying the general principles of “art and part liability” recognised by the law – that is, the same principles which govern the liability of anyone who is alleged to have assisted in the commission of a criminal offence. The position would be similar to that in English law before the Suicide Act 1961 where, because suicide was “self-murder and therefore a felony… a person who aids, abets, counsels or procures another to commit suicide [was] guilty of murder” (Criminal Law Revision Committee: Second Report (Suicide) (Cmnd 1187: 1960) para 3). • If suicide is not a criminal offence in Scots law, then liability for assisted suicide could arise only when the person who has provided assistance can in law be said to have caused the death of another person, and to have done so with the degree of fault required for guilt of either murder or culpable homicide.

    APPEAL COURT, HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY [2019] HCJAC 50 HCA/2019/245/XC Lord Justice General Lord Menzies Lord Brodie OPINION OF LORD CARLOWAY, the LORD JUSTICE GENERAL in APPEAL FOLLOWING THE REFERENCE BY THE SCOTTISH CRIMINAL CASES REVIEW COMMISSION by LISTON CRAIG PACITTI Appellant against HER MAJESTY’S ADVOCATE Respondent Appellant: Findlater; Faculty Services Limited (for George Mathers & Co, Aberdeen) Respondent: Edwards QC, AD; the Crown Agent; 9 July 2019 [1] On 17 December 2017, at the sheriff court in Dundee, the appellant pled guilty to a charge of culpable and reckless conduct between 3 July 2013 and 7 December 2014 at shops in Arbroath and Montrose by supplying multiple quantities of new psychoactive substances, 2 which he knew would cause a danger to health and, in consequence, he injured one person and endangered the lives of ten others. [2] On 27 February 2018 the appellant’s co-accused, namely Paul Brocklehurst, pled guilty at a subsequent first diet to an indictment in similar terms, but over a 2 year period, involving only one shop in Perth and supplies to ten adults and two children, with injuries to seven of the adults and one of the children. [3] On 24 April 2018 the sheriff sentenced both accused to 4 years and 6 months imprisonment, which he had reduced from a starting point of 6 years. In sentencing the accused the sheriff said that there was “nothing to choose between them” despite the different circumstances. The two accused had basically been conducting the same business in conjunction with each other, but from different shops.

  • Comment on Chapter 5 Assisted Dying and the CPS RA Duff
    In Child JJ & Duff RA (eds.) Criminal Law Reform Now: Proposals & Critiques. London: Hart Publishing, pp. 155-163. https://www.bloomsburyprofessional.com/uk/criminal-law-reform-now-9781509916771/ Comment on Chapter 5 Assisted Dying and the CPS R A Duff (J Child and R A Duff, eds, Criminal Law Reform Now, Hart 2018, 155-63) As Andrew Sanders makes depressingly clear,1 those who are considering whether to ask another for help in ending their lives, or whether to respond to such requests by providing such help, face a still uncertain, and unsatisfactory, legal position. If they provide assistance to another’s suicide, their conduct satisfies the definition of a criminal offence—an offence definition that allows no room for a defence based on, for instance, the earnestness and rationality of the request to which they respond;2 if what they do amounts to causing the requester’s death, their conduct satisfies the definition of criminal homicide.3 Someone seeking such assistance might think that the law that criminalises it violates the ‘right to respect for … private and family life’ declared in Article 8(1) of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR): the ECHR has held that ‘the right of an individual to decide how and when to end his life … is one aspect of the right to respect for private life’,4 and English courts have accepted that the formal criminalisation of assisting suicide ‘represents an interference with’ that right.5 But the courts will not help such a person by declaring that law to be incompatible with the ECHR (or with the English Human Rights Act 1998): for Article 8(2) of the ECHR allows interference with that right if it ‘is necessary in a 1 A Sanders, ‘The CPS, Policy-Making and Assisted Dying: Towards a “Freedom” Approach’, ch 5 of this volume.

  • Prosecution Policy on the Sexual Transmission of Infection
    CROWN OFFICE AND PROCURATOR FISCAL SERVICE INTENTIONAL OR RECKLESS SEXUAL TRANSMISSION OF, OR EXPOSURE TO, INFECTION Contents: ♦ Introduction ♦ The Legal Position in Scotland ♦ Proof of Culpable and Reckless Conduct; (a) The victim has contracted the infection from the accused (b) Knowledge (c) Recklessness ♦ Medical and Scientific Considerations; Use of experts ♦ Determining whether Prosecution is in the Public Interest; Factors tending against prosecution Factors tending in favour of prosecution ♦ Process to be followed where Proceedings are Raised ♦ Legal Position in England and Wales ♦ Overview of Guidance ♦ Conclusion Introduction This guidance sets out how prosecutors should deal with cases involving an allegation of intentional or reckless sexual transmission of, or exposure to, infection which has serious, potentially life threatening consequences for the person infected. In developing this guidance, the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) has consulted with the public health sector and has benefited substantially from their input and expertise. Their advice has been greatly appreciated, however, the content of this policy statement remains the responsibility of the COPFS. There have been very few prosecutions in Scotland involving intentional or reckless transmission of, or exposure to, sexually transmitted infection. Although previous prosecutions have involved HIV infection, this policy is not restricted to HIV and applies to any sexual infection which could have serious, potentially life threatening consequences for the person infected. Annex A provides details of previous prosecutions. The prosecution of Mark Deveraux in 2010, for the culpable and reckless transmission of, and exposure to, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) attracted some concern from the public health and HIV sector due to the prosecution of charges where there was no transmission of the infection to the victim.

DE-6 (2/88) 11 Abstract The relationship between alcohol and violence is one that has caused concern for centuries. Conflict between public policy issues and the application of criminal theory has meant that the debate as to how to deal with the individual who commits acts of violence while severely intoxicated is far from settled. Canada typifies the modern position with continuing disagreement between those who favour a protectionist stance which denies, in whole or in part, a defence based on intoxication and those who feel that to allow a defence is technically correct within the framework of existing criminal theory.
