Victims Actions Foreseeability Test

Summary

The principles from R v Roberts (1971) and the Wallace court emphasize the foreseeability and reasonableness of a victims actions in response to a defendants conduct. The Roberts test sets a low threshold for continuing liability, focusing on whether a victims reaction was so unexpected that it could not be foreseen by a reasonable person. The Wallace courts approach aligns with these principles, assessing a victims actions through an objective lens of foreseeability. Additionally, references to legal texts and cases like Nicklinson v United Kingdom and Pretty v United Kingdom highlight the ECHRs stance on Article 2, which protects the right to life rather than a right to die.

is this true The Wallace court’s emphasis on whether the victim’s act was a 'direct response' to the injuries echoes earlier common law approaches which assessed the victim’s actions through an objective lens of foreseeability.
Yes, that's true. The Wallace court's approach aligns with earlier common law principles, such as those in R v Roberts, by assessing a victim's actions based on foreseeability. The focus is on whether the victim's response to the defendant's actions was reasonable and could be anticipated by a reasonable person. Is there a specific aspect of this case you'd like to discuss further?
is this paragraph correct and true The Wallace court’s emphasis on whether the victim’s act was a 'direct response' to the injuries echoes earlier common law approaches which assessed the victim’s actions through an objective lens of foreseeability. The principle established in R v Roberts (*) held that a victim’s action would only break the chain of causation if it was 'so unexpected that it could not be foreseen by a reasonable man,' or a 'daft' response. The Roberts test sets a low threshold for continuing liability, focusing on the reasonableness of the victim's reaction to the peril created by the defendant."
