  • Qualifies objective test for 'dangerous' - knowledge of person at scene (petrol attendant w/ heart condition) (6)
  • Qualifies objective test for 'dangerous' act - knowledge of person at the scene (burglary victim dying of heart condition) (6)
  • Requirement of "extremely grave" objective, not just whether D felt that way - sexual infidelity not blanket exclusion, just not a qualifying trigger alone (strangling wife with belt when she had affair) (7)
  • Self-induced intoxication not to be included in the circumstances, though drunk person not excluded from the defence if sober person would have acted the same (D stabbed V) (8)
  • Unlawful act for unlawful act manslaughter cannot be a strict liability/negligence crime (7)
