In R v Chan Fook, in 1993, the Court of Appeal said that bodily harm included "psychiatric injury". In R v Burstow, the Court of Appeal said they were bound by that previous decision, and Lord Steyn agreed that they were. In what sense has the meaning of the term been "extended" by R v Burstow? 1340: 1304: 1276: 1251: 1228: 1216: 1195: 1179: 1167: 1136: 1100: 162: 107: 1320: 309: 214: 193: 861:
I've tweaked the lead, but there isn't really a clear basis for it (there's a differentiating factor to sexual offences mentioned) and the OAPA act. Both Smith & Hogan (I now have the 2005 edition) and Simester and Sullivan use this distinction, I'm almost certain it's maintained in the other big

When I review the "What Links Here" for this article, I don't see many articles. At a minimum, I would expect to see all the "main" articles on the various crimes (battery, assault, etc) linking here. For GA, it is not required that you add text to those articles, but at a minimum you should put

It should be made clear in the Lead why this group of crimes is, well, a group. The title is "Non-fatal offences against the person". Is there a reason that group of crimes exist? What do the sources say (as to why they are grouped)? Do the crimes all have something in common? Another way of

In my view, it should be "non-fatal non-sexual" rather than just "non-fatal" for clarity. Certain sexual offences were characterised as offences against the person by the Offences against the Person Act 1861, and this is still the case with the Visiting Forces Act 1952.

I though that would be pushing the name a bit far. I do not think that the average reader would expect expect sexual offences to be covered here, and it's noted prominently in the lead.

The problem comes when you ask "why the US?". An international comparison would be interesting, and lengthy, and therefore best left to the general pages (e.g.

I believe Chan Fook was charged with a S47 offence, whereas Burstow was charged with S20. If that is correct, "extended" seems reasonable.
