Course Overview

The Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008, put the defence of self-defence on a semi-statutory footing. It clarified what constitutes reasonable force and introduced the new concept of the “householders” defence.

As well as this, the Court of Appeal has had to consider the concept in relation to dangerous driving. This will be particularly relevant to the new offence of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
