Re: Are you 'at fault'?
 

There is always a fault factor,irrelevant of how you wish to define it,whereas an intent factor removes the accident factor.

Re: Are you 'at fault'?
 

hmmm, this reminds me of a certain rare petrol tank Im Indoors 'had', it was sat in his living room, so I inspected it(like women do)
''deeeear theres a big spot of rust under the tank''

''don't you dare touch that, i don't want you putting a hole in it''

i put it down, and left it alone....yes a woman can be told not to touch.
A day or two later his friend was 'inspecting' the tank

''mate you've got a big spot of rust underneath''
''don't touch.....thaaaa

TOO LATE, the mate put a big hole in the tank

HAHAHAHA it wasn't me to blame :-) His mate was blamed for turning it into some sort of ashtray/focal point. It took him rather a long time to find another tank, and it wasn't even the right colour:-( I can bet you he'd have spat feathers at me, if I'd put me finger in the tank!

its the wifes fault for being too slow to jump out the way. I would have known what was coming many milliseconds before it did.

We all have spidey senses don't we?

to the OP,
****ed at him for coming through the ceiling but couldnt blame him for killing the misses.

Out of interest, would he get in volentery man slaughter for that?

Re: Are you 'at fault'?
 

I dont think there is such a law as involuntary manslaughter. I think murder can be reduced to manslaughter and manslaughter to accidental killing.
I think involuntary manslaughter is an americansim from films.

I could be very worng here as its a very long time since i did A level law and A levels anit exactly in depth either.
