•Download as PPTX, PDF•
1 like•1,615 views
This document discusses the legal development of the concept of appropriation as it relates to theft. It summarizes several key court cases between 1971 and 1993 that helped define when appropriation occurs. The cases established that appropriation can take place before an item is removed from the store if the person's actions are inconsistent with the owner's rights, such as switching price tags or loading goods with the intent to steal them and divert them from their destination. Appropriation requires an act that assumes the rights of ownership over an item.

Automatism
This document discusses the legal defense of automatism, where a defendant's actions are involuntary due to an external uncontrollable factor. For automatism to apply, the act must be due to a spasm, convulsion or other uncontrollable response induced by an external stimulus, such as being stung by bees. Both case law and legal principles discussed in the document require the act to be involuntary and prevent the defendant from forming criminal intent for automatism to be a successful complete defense leading to acquittal.

Online Learning: Continuous Enhancement and Improvement
The role of a Programme Lead in the continuous enhancement and improvement of the student experience in an online education setting.
Indirect intention
This document discusses the legal principles of oblique intent in criminal cases. It outlines several important court cases that have helped define how intent can be established through foreseeability of consequences:
- DPP v Smith established that a person intends the natural and probable consequences of their actions.
- Hyam v DPP found that intent exists when a person foresees a consequence as being highly probable due to their actions.
- More recent cases like Nedrick, Woolin, and Matthews and Alleyne have confirmed that a jury can only find intent if the consequence was virtually certain and the defendant appreciated this, establishing foreseeability of consequences as a rule of evidence for intent.
Actus reus
This document defines and discusses the legal concept of actus reus. It begins by defining actus reus using four sources of authority as the physical act of the crime, an act, a failure to act (omission), or a "state of affairs". It then describes actus reus as generally requiring a positive act, with an exception for cases like R v Larsonneur that involve a state of affairs. Finally, it explains five situations in which an omission may amount to actus reus: 1) when a legal duty exists, such as the duty of parents to care for children; 2) when a duty arises from a relationship; 3) when a duty arises from undertaking someone's care; 4
Causation and drugs cases
This document summarizes several cases related to causation and drugs:
- R v Cato established that administering a noxious substance that causes death is an offence under the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act.
- R v Dalby rejected prosecution for death caused by illegally supplying drugs, as the supply did not directly cause death.
- R v Khan suggested non-action could establish liability if there is a duty to summon medical help in an overdose situation.
- R v Evans upheld conviction for gross negligence manslaughter when the appellant supplied heroin to her sister, recognized the sister's overdose symptoms, but failed to seek medical help, causing her death.
Section 25 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973: Financial factors
The document discusses UK laws governing finances in divorce cases, including the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 and related case law. It outlines the courts' powers to approve and change the financial positions of parties upon divorce. It describes the factors courts must consider under section 25 of the MCA 1973, such as the financial resources and needs of the parties, the standard of living enjoyed during the marriage, and the conduct of the parties. Case law is discussed that provides guidance on applying these statutory factors.
Judicial Separation in England and Wales
An applicant for legal separation must prove one of five facts under the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 to be granted a separation. A legal separation and divorce have similar effects, including preventing inheritance, ending cohabitation obligations, and allowing financial relief. If divorce is barred, one can pursue legal separation instead within the first year of marriage by proving any of the five facts, without needing to show an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. A legal separation can result in financial orders, maintenance obligations, an end to cohabitation, barring inheritance, and the potential for reconciliation if remarriage is prohibited.
Civil Partnerships in England and Wales
Civil partnerships allow same-sex couples to legally recognize their relationship, equivalent to marriage. Partners obtain property rights, inheritance, and pension benefits. To end a civil partnership, one must apply for dissolution after one year, which deals with financial and property settlements similarly to divorce. Grounds for dissolution include irretrievable breakdown, two years living apart by consent, or five years living apart. Nullity or separation orders are also possible under certain conditions.
Criminal damage
The document discusses criminal damage offenses under the Criminal Damage Act 1971. It outlines the 3 offenses as basic criminal damage, aggravated criminal damage, and arson as defined in Section 1 of the Act. For basic criminal damage, the 3 elements that must be proven are: 1) destruction or damage, 2) to property, and 3) belonging to another. Damage is broadly defined based on case law. Aggravated criminal damage requires the additional element of intending or recklessly endangering life. Defenses to criminal damage are also provided in Section 5 of the Act.
Criminal Law: Intoxication
This document summarizes several cases related to the defense of intoxication in criminal law. It establishes that voluntary intoxication generally cannot be used as a defense, as drunken intent is still considered intent. However, if a defendant was intoxicated to the point of lacking the necessary mental state or mens rea for the crime, intoxication could provide a defense for crimes requiring specific intent but not crimes of basic intent or manslaughter. Subsequent cases further clarified that mistakes due to intoxication cannot be relied on as a defense and that involuntary intoxication is also not a valid defense.
Criminal Law: Diminished Responsibility
This document outlines the four elements of the diminished responsibility defense in criminal cases in the UK: 1) the defendant had an abnormality of mental functioning, 2) the abnormality was a recognized medical condition, 3) the abnormality substantially impaired the defendant's ability to understand their actions, and 4) the abnormality provides an explanation for why the defendant carried out the killing. Case law has established that the impairment does not need to be total and is determined by a jury to be something between total and trivial or minimal. The abnormality and impaired state of mind must also be present at the time of the alleged killing.
Tort Law: Public Policy And Psychiatric Injury
This document discusses several court cases related to public policy and psychiatric injury from tort cases. It establishes that courts now have the power to consider public policy implications when imposing liability. One case did not impose liability on police who failed to act on a warning about a teacher who later killed a student, though this was later challenged. The standard for primary victims claiming psychiatric injuries was that injuries must be reasonably foreseeable, and secondary victims must meet four criteria including witnessing the incident and having a close relationship to the primary victim.
Tort Law: Causation
This document discusses several legal cases related to causation in tort law. It covers topics such as: factual causation tests like the "but for" test; multiple causes of harm where a defendant's actions contributed materially to the damage; intervening acts that may break the chain of causation; the thin skull rule where defendants must take victims as they find them; and the test that the harm suffered must be reasonably foreseeable to be recoverable.
Costs
The document discusses various aspects of costs in UK civil litigation, including:
- The general rule that costs follow the event, but the court has discretion based on circumstances.
- Reforms introduced by LASPOA 2012, including the qualified one-way costs shifting for personal injury claims, proportionality requirements, costs budgets, fixed costs for certain claims, and provisional detailed assessments.
- The procedures for summary assessment of costs at the end of fast track trials, and detailed assessment of costs in multi-track cases, including points of dispute processes.
- The standard and indemnity bases of assessment and wasted costs orders against lawyers.
Financing litigation
This document discusses various methods for financing civil litigation in England and Wales, including retainers, contingency fees (CFAs), damages-based agreements (DBAs), insurance, qualified one-way costs shifting (QOCS), and public funding. It provides details on reforms introduced by the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012, such as success fees and ATE premiums no longer being recoverable from the losing party. CFAs and DBAs are now the main alternatives to traditional retainers, with caps on the percentage of damages that can be claimed. Public funding through legal aid has limited availability and alternative options may include trade union support.
Unfair dismissal
This document discusses unfair dismissal, including:
- 4 types of dismissal: fair, unfair, wrongful, constructive
- What constitutes unfair dismissal, including dismissal for a potentially fair reason without following fair procedure
- 4 automatically unfair reasons for dismissal relating to pregnancy, family reasons, representation, pay and hours
- 5 potentially fair reasons for dismissal under UK law: conduct, capability, redundancy, statutory restriction, other substantial reasons
- The 5 preliminary requirements for an unfair dismissal claim: 1 year continuous service, employee was dismissed, claim brought on time, not an excluded category, effective date of termination
English Legal System
This document discusses the definition of law according to five academics and classifies law into seven main categories. It defines law as a body of rules fixed and enforced by a sovereign authority according to John Austin, and as a system of rules according to Professor Hart. Law can also be seen as an embodiment of reason (Plato) or a tool of control (Marxist theory). The seven classifications of law covered are domestic, European, international, public, private, civil, and criminal law.
Delegated Legislation: Substantive ultra vires
The document discusses the concept of substantive ultra vires, which allows courts to intervene when public authorities abuse their powers by creating laws illegally or unreasonably. It provides examples of cases where authorities have overstepped their powers, such as giving a government department more authority than Parliament or forcing people to remove snow when they lacked that authority. Courts can review delegated legislation for unreasonable acts under the concept of substantive ultra vires.
Delegated Legislation: Procedural Ultra Vires
Procedural ultra vires occurs when a public authority exceeds its powers by failing to follow mandatory procedural requirements in its enabling act. Case law has established that statutory instruments will be invalidated if mandatory consultation or publication requirements are not followed, but not if the procedures are only directory. For example, in R v Secretary of State for Education and Employment, a statutory instrument setting teacher pay conditions was ruled ultra vires for failing to follow the powers granted by the enabling act.
Directives and Direct Effect Memory Game
The EU issues directives that set goals for member states but allow flexibility in how they are achieved. Directives have direct effect, meaning individuals can rely on them in court if the state fails to properly implement them. Directives aim to harmonize laws across the EU in order to facilitate the functioning of the single market.
Directives and direct effect
Directives issued by the EU are binding on Member States and must be implemented within a strict time limit. Once implemented, individuals can rely on directives through direct effect. There are two types of direct effect: horizontal between citizens, and vertical against the state. Unimplemented directives can still be directly effective against emanations of the state like local authorities through vertical direct effect. Private companies are not considered emanations of the state so individuals cannot rely on unimplemented directives against them. National courts must interpret national law in line with directives whether implemented or not through the principle of indirect effect.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Theft: Appropriation Common Law Development
- 1. Theft: Development of Appropriation Please note that the pictures in here are not by any means an indication of the true identify of the parties to the proceedings. They are simply a tool to ease our memories ;)
- 8. Theft: Development of Appropriation Answers Please note that the pictures in here are not by any means an indication of the true identify of the parties to the proceedings. They are simply a tool to ease our memories ;)
- 9. Eddy v Niman (1971): The question for the courts to consider about appropriation was: had D done an act inconsistent with the true owner’s rights? Here, D had taken goods from the shelf and placed them in a trolley provided by the store and had not done an act inconsistent with the rights of the owner.
- 10. Lawrence (1971): The driver argued had appropriated the money despite the student consenting to him taking it.
- 11. McPherson (1973): Placing of the bottles in a shopping bag with intent to steal, amounted to appropriation.
- 12. Skipp (1975): An assumption of the rights of the owner did not necessarily take place at the same time as the intention to permanently deprive the owner of it. D intended to steal the goods from the outset, but he did not appropriate the goods until they were all loaded and changed the route of the goods. Until the goods were diverted from the destination D was acting within the authority of the owner.
- 13. R v Morris (1983): As soon as D switched the price labels he had ‘appropriated’ the property.
- 14. Gomez (1993): There was an appropriation even though he acted with the authority of the shop manager. Confirmed that Lawrence was the appropriate authority on the issue of appropriation.
