Elderly Care Legal Duty
Summary
In the scenario where Richard fails to care for his elderly aunt, the law may impose a duty under voluntary assumption of responsibility. By moving in to care for her, Richard accepted the responsibility to ensure her well-being. In cases of unlawful act manslaughter, the act must be a dangerous criminal act causing death, not necessarily directed at the victim. For negligence, it is assessed objectively, not subjectively. In the context of diminished responsibility, self-induced intoxication is not considered an abnormality of mental functioning. If you have specific legal concerns, consulting a local attorney for personalized advice is recommended.Full Conversation

why is the answer Jordan *
Case Rating: *
The answer "Jordan (*)" is correct because the case of Jordan (*) is often cited as an example where the doctor's negligent treatment was so extraordinary and unusual that it broke the chain of causation. Here are the key points:
- In Jordan (*), the victim was recovering well from his initial injuries.
- The doctor's treatment was so palpably wrong (giving the wrong injection and excessive fluids) that it was deemed a new and independent act.
- This act was considered to break the causal link between the original injury and the death.
This makes Jordan (*) a rare and unusual case in terms of breaking the chain of causation due to medical negligence.
Do you have any more questions or need further clarification on this topic?

Could it be Malcherek and Steel
Case Rating: *
In the context of your question about Jordan (*) and its comparison to Malcherek and Steel, here’s a brief clarification:
- Jordan (*): The negligent treatment by the doctor was so grossly negligent that it broke the chain of causation.
- Malcherek and Steel (*): This case involved life support being turned off. The original wounds were still seen as the cause of death, and the chain of causation was not broken.
So, Jordan (*) is more apt for rare and unusual cases of medical negligence breaking causation, whereas Malcherek and Steel (*) does not fit this criterion.
Do you need further details on either case?

Bert, an habitual burglar, breaks into a block of retirement flats at night. He enters Maud’s flat. Maud is an elderly lady with a weak heart. She interrupts Bert while he is rifling through her cupboards. Maud suffers a heart attack due to shock and dies. Which of the following is most likely to apply?
Question * Answer
a.
Bert will be convicted of unlawful act manslaughter. The act of burglary became dangerous when Bert saw that Maud was an elderly lady and realised that there was a risk of some harm to her.

d.
Bert will not be convicted of unlawful act manslaughter because the reasonable man would not have recognised the risk of some harm.
