Sexual Offences Act Insights
Summary
The Sexual Offences Act 2003 outlines circumstances affecting victim consent and freedom of choice. Section 75 lists six circumstances related to victim autonomy. Section 78(b) is interpreted by courts based on a reasonable persons perspective on whether an act is sexual. The Court of Appeal in Doyle (2010) defines lack of consent as unwilling submission due to fear. The Court of Appeal limits consent to the acts performance, not broader circumstances. Freedom to choose is defined as absent when deception about the acts nature occurs. Contract law involves voluntarily assumed obligations for benefits, with implied terms arising from statutory or common law. Consideration requires a bargain between parties, and privity exceptions allow third-party contract rights and loss requirement relaxation. A counter-offer occurs when a buyer proposes a different price, and a battle of forms arises from incompatible contract terms.Full Conversation
