Manslaughter’ alleges the defendant knows that the risk of his or her actions may result in death for others, ignores the risk and continues the behaviour anyway. 3. ‘Third degree murder’ which applies to the USA, holds the defendant responsible for causing the death of another while the defendant was committing another felony. Generally, there are three forms of unlawful homicide: murder, voluntary manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter. The state of mind of the defendant at the time of committing the act determines the type of homicide.
The courts will therefore examine the defendant’s thoughts, a reasonable person’s thoughts and the defendant’s acts or omissions. It was made clear in the Adomako case that in order to be guilty of gross negligence manslaughter, there had to be a risk of death. Corporate Manslaughter Prosecuting corporations for manslaughter has been fraught with difficulties, mainly due to the fact that it is necessary to show that the corporation has acted through the controlling mind of one of its agents. In order to convict a company for manslaughter the prosecution has had to establish that individual defendants could be identified with the company and that they themselves were guilty of manslaughter.
In recent years the courts have identified a number of factors relevant to the denial of a duty of care, for example, a duty of care may not exist where, inter alia, (i) the claimant is the author of his own misfortune (Philcox v Civil Aviation Authority [1995]), or (ii) a duty of care would lead to unduly defensive practices by defendants seeking to avoid claims for negligence with detrimental effects on their performance of some public duty (Hill v CC of West Yorkshire [1988], and X (minors) v Bedfordshire CC [1995]).
