Reported: Usually recommendations for law reform but can be advice to government, scoping report or other recommendations

We published a scoping report containing our final recommendations to Government on 3 November 2015, following a scoping consultation which ran from autumn 2014 to spring 2015.
This is a scoping project forming part of our Eleventh Programme of law reform.

The Offences Against the Person Act 1861 is widely recognised as being outdated. It uses archaic language and follows a Victorian legislative approach of listing separate offences for individual factual scenarios, many of which are no longer necessary (for example, the offence under section 17 of impeding a person endeavouring to save himself from a shipwreck). The structure of the Act is also unsatisfactory; there is no clear hierarchy of offences and the differences between the three most commonly prosecuted offences (under sections 18, 20 and 47) are not clearly spelt out - for example, section 20 (maliciously wounding or inflicting grievous bodily harm) is seen as more serious than section 47 (assault occasioning actual bodily harm) but the maximum penalty (five years) is the same.

The 1861 Act has been in force for over 150 years. It has been frequently amended. Despite a long history of criticism of many aspects of the Act and repeated efforts at reform, it remains in heavy use: the offences in the 1861 Act form the basis of over 26,000 prosecutions every year. Frequent changes to the law have left it in an incoherent and confusing state, with more provisions repealed than currently in force.

In the scoping consultation paper, we examined the current law, analysed the problems with it and tentatively suggested some options for future reform. We proposed utilising the Home Office's 1998 draft Bill with some amendments to reflect both the need for increased efficiency in the Criminal Justice System, and legal developments in the years since it was drafted, particularly in the field of disease transmission.

On consultation, there was broad agreement that reform of the law was necessary, with Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales, the Rt Hon the Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd, saying that:

"I recognise the problems identified in the paper in relation to the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act. The legislation is out of date and in some areas obsolete; new ways of offending are not adequately captured."

His Honour Judge Andrew Goymer, for the Council of HM Circuit Judges, said:

"Judges and juries have frequently to grapple with the problems of the current law contained in a statute that is now 154 years old."

John Atherton, of the National Bench Chairmen's Forum, said:

"Having started by trying to read and understand the 1861 Act, I was struck by the outdated use of words and phrases. Reading it was akin to plaiting fog."

Consultees also firmly agreed that we ought to use the Home Office's 1998 draft Bill as a basis for reform, with certain modifications. The Lord Chief Justice said:

"I think it is sensible that you have based your discussion on the 1998 proposals for a draft Bill, and believe that this is a good model and a firm foundation on which to take forward long overdue reform in this area."

As a result of this highly positive response to our provisional proposals on consultation, the Law Commission recommends the adoption of a modified version of the Home Office's 1998 draft Bill to replace the outdated Offences Against the Person Act 1861.

The Home Office's 1998 draft Bill includes a logical hierarchy of offences of violence in plain English, which would be a great improvement on the present law. However, it also replicates one of the defects of the present law: there is a huge gap between the lowest level offence (currently common assault; maximum 6 months) and the next one up (currently assault occasioning actual bodily harm or ABH; maximum 5 years). A lot of offences against the person in practice involve relatively low levels of injury being caused. In such cases, prosecutors have a choice:

Option 1) Charging the lowest level offence, which guarantees fast and cheap trial in a magistrates' court but wouldn't appropriately label the offender as someone who has caused actual injury.

Option 2) Charging an offence which reflects the harm caused, but risks Crown Court trial. This is considerably more expensive, and unnecessary in the less serious cases we are considering, since the ultimate sentence passed is within the powers of magistrates.

To get around this problem, the Law Commission recommends adding in a new summary-only offence of aggravated assault. This would be triable only in a magistrates' court, and carry a maximum sentence of 12 months. The new offence would appropriately label those who do more than mere assault, since they cause injury, but who don't deserve a sentence of more than 12 months. Given that currently 73.5% of ABH cases tried in the Crown Court result in a sentence of 12 months or under where there is a conviction, enormous cost savings could also result.

Both in the scoping consultation paper and in this report, we have considered the criminalisation of disease transmission at great length. Many consultees supported fundamental reform of the law in this area. However, we conclude that the issues were more complex than time or space allowed without delaying the main aim of reforming the law of offences against the person. For this reason, we suggest modifications to the draft Bill to preserve the present position pending a wider review involving more input from healthcare professionals and bodies.

One way in which the 1998 draft Bill changes the law from the 1861 Act, rather than just simplifying and reforming it, is by expanding the offence of threats to kill to also include threats to cause serious injury. We go beyond this and recommend that it also ought to include threats to rape. All three would be punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

Of course, in a reform project where we are recommending the repeal of 25 offences to be replaced with 15 new ones there are many more minor changes to things like maximum sentence and definitions. To assist readers with understanding these changes, we have produced a table showing all of the existing offences, and their proposed replacements. This is published in the report, in the summary, and as a separate document at the bottom of this page.

In this video, Professor David Ormerod QC, Law Commissioner for criminal law, sets out the case for reform.

A rugby player has no unlimited licence to use force and that " there must obviously be cases which cross the line of that to which a player is deemed to consent." A distinction, which the jury might regard as decisive, was that between force used in the course of play and force used outside the course of play.

The jury in the trial of a mother-of-eight accused of starving her four-year-old son to death has retired to consider its verdict.

Amanda Hutton, 43, has denied the manslaughter of Hamzah Khan by gross negligence.

Her trial at Bradford Crown Court heard the boy died in December 2009 after being fed a "grossly inadequate" diet.

His mummified body was found in his cot at his home in Bradford, West Yorkshire, 21 months later.

The two-week trial has heard that Hamzah's body was found in the house in the Heaton area of the city in terrible squalor, where five other school-aged siblings were living.

'Harden your heart'

Ms Hutton has admitted a charge of child cruelty in respect of each of these children, who were aged between five and 13 in 2011.

The prosecution said Hamzah most probably died from malnutrition because Ms Hutton neglected him as she concentrated on her alcohol addiction.

They said she starved her son to death.

But Ms Hutton has told the court that she struggled to get her son to eat and he died suddenly.

Speaking to the jury before they retired, the Recorder of Bradford, Roger Thomas QC, said: "You wouldn't be human if you haven't had some reaction emotionally to the facts of this pretty dreadful case.

"But you've got to harden your heart here and look at it calmly and coolly."

The prosecution claim Ms Hutton was grossly negligent, either because she failed to feed Hamzah or she failed to get medical attention for him when he became ill.

Ms Hutton told the jury she never sought medical advice because she thought he was going through a phase and would grow out of it.

She said she panicked after his death and only kept claiming child benefit for Hamzah because she was worried that, if she stopped, his body would be discovered.

Ms Hutton claims the appalling conditions police officers found at her home when they finally searched the house only developed after her son's death.

A nurse who did nothing to help a care home patient who suffered an epileptic fit lasting up to two and a half hours has been found guilty of manslaughter.

A court heard Harjinder Mangat, 58, of the Richard House Care Home in Walsall, failed to give Eileen Murphy, 36, her medication in March 2003.

She also failed to call an ambulance, Wolverhampton Crown Court heard.

Another nurse, Bernadette Gerrard, 44, had previously admitted manslaughter. The pair will be sentenced later.

Gerrard, from Hednesford in Staffordshire and Mangat, from Sutton Coldfield, were told about Ms Murphy's fit but did not get help.

'Complex investigation'

The court heard that other carers told the pair: "She's going blue. Help her".

But, by mid-morning Ms Murphy had stopped breathing, having not regained consciousness since the start of the fit.

The prosecution said she was just "left and left" until she died.

They alleged Mangat, charged with manslaughter by gross negligence, failed in her duty of care and also as deputy matron over the way she supervised Gerrard.

West Midlands Police said it had been a complex investigation.

A 45-year-old man jailed for murdering his wife after she left him and found a new man has had his conviction quashed.

Jon-Jaques Clinton was found guilty of the November 2010 killing of wife Dawn at their home in Bracknell, Berkshire.

The Court of Appeal has ruled sexual infidelity can be taken into account by jurors when considering whether the "loss of control" defence is allowable.

The defence, which replaced that of "provocation" in 2009, was withdrawn from the jury at Clinton's trial.

Judges at the Court of Appeal were interpreting the changes to the law introduced in the Coroners and Justice Act of 2009.

Hacked into Facebook

In order to raise the loss of control defence, there has to be a "qualifying trigger" and, in spite of the Act stating sexual infidelity is to be disregarded, the Appeal Court has now ruled it can be taken into account.

If used successfully, the loss of control defence will reduce murder to manslaughter.

Two other men who killed their wives failed in their bid to have their convictions overturned at the Court of Appeal, which heard the three cases together as they raised similar issues.

During Clinton's trial last year, Reading Crown Court heard that he hacked into his 33-year-old wife's Facebook account and found evidence of the relationship.

Mrs Clinton had left her husband a few weeks before her death and moved into her mother's home.

When she later visited the marital home, Clinton killed her.

A post-mortem examination showed she died from head injuries and asphyxia.

Clinton, formerly of Inchwood, Bracknell, remains in custody and now faces a retrial.

A woman has been sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison for killing a man charged with sexually assaulting young boys on the east London estate where they lived.

Sarah Sands, 32, was found guilty of the manslaughter of Michael Pleasted, 77, by reason of loss of control.

Pleasted, who had previous convictions, was on bail awaiting trial when he was killed at his flat in east London.

He was stabbed eight times and bled to death, the Old Bailey heard.

'Sustained attack'

Judge Nicholas Cooke QC said it was a "truly exceptional case" as he reduced her sentence from seven years to three-and-a-half, taking into consideration her position as a single mother.

Sands, who was cleared of murder, had armed herself with a knife and carried out a "determined and sustained attack" on Pleasted at his flat in Canning Town, the court heard.

Pleasted, who also went by the name of Robin Moult, had 24 previous convictions for sexual offences spanning three decades.

He served sentences of between nine months and six years for sex crimes that included indecent assaults on a boys aged under 16 and under 14.

However, he was not on the sex offenders register as he committed his offences before it was introduced in 1997.

'No mob rule'

Sands, who has been in custody for the past 10 months, could be released on parole in 11 months.

The judge emphasised the case was "unique" as Sands had lost control rather than taken the law into her own hands and engaged in "vigilante conduct".

He said: "There must never be the slightest encouragement for mob rule."

The judge added: "This was a case in which the defendant promptly gave herself up to the police in a highly stressed state, never disputed responsibility for the killing as a matter of fact, did not take the opportunity to get rid of evidence and demonstrated remorse."

At the time of the attack, Pleasted was on bail awaiting trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court on two charges of sexual assault on two children aged under 13.

Officers were also investigating a further allegation he had abused a third boy.

During the trial, Sands told the court she had not intended to hurt Pleasted when she went to his flat with a knife, claiming instead she wanted him to admit to his crimes so his young accusers would not have to go to court.

Sands told the jury she was "frightened", adding: "It was not how it was meant to go. He was meant to listen to me".

However she said Pleasted "smirked" when he answered the door and told her the boys were all liars who had ruined his life.

During the trial, the judge said an inquiry was under way into the decision to bail Pleasted.

Prime Minister David Cameron has apologised on behalf of the British government to victims of the contaminated blood scandal.

It came after a Scottish inquiry described the saga as "the stuff of nightmares".

Thousands of people were infected with Hepatitis C and HIV through NHS blood products in the 1970s and 80s.

But the inquiry concluded few matters could have been done differently.

And it made only a single recommendation - that anyone in Scotland who had a blood transfusion before 1991 should be tested for Hepatitis C if they have not already done so.

There was an angry response to the report from victims and relatives who had gathered at the National Museum in Edinburgh to see its publication after a six-year wait, with shouts of "whitewash" after its conclusions were read out.

The contaminated blood scandal has been described as the worst treatment disaster in the history of the NHS, and was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people, many of whom had been haemophilia patients.

Hundreds of those affected were in Scotland, which was the only part of the UK to hold an inquiry.

Speaking at Prime Minister's Questions in the Commons, Mr Cameron said it was difficult to imagine the "feeling of unfairness that people must feel at being infected with something like Hepatitis C or HIV as a result of totally unrelated treatment within the NHS".

He added: "To each and every one of these people I would like to say sorry on behalf of the government for something that should not have happened."

He also confirmed that the government would provide up to £25m in 2015/16 to support any transitional arrangement to a better payment system.

Analysis

Hugh Pym, BBC health editor

The Penrose report is a detailed factual account of events over near two decades and a forensic examination of medical evidence and the detail of therapy with blood products. Blame is not apportioned, and perhaps Lord Penrose did not consider that was part of his remit.

But victims and families of those who died after receiving contaminated blood were unimpressed. At the end of the unveiling of the report in Edinburgh they heckled and shouted "whitewash".

The response to news that the Department of Health was providing an extra £25m in transitional relief was dismissed as a "joke" and "gesture politics" by one spokesman.

It is clear that they see this story as far from over and will continue to press for a full explanation of who was at fault and a comprehensive compensation settlement.

The scandal happened before the creation of the devolved Scottish Parliament, which now has full responsibility for the NHS in Scotland.

But Scotland's Health Secretary Shona Robison also apologised on behalf of the Scottish NHS and Scottish government to everyone who had been affected by the "terrible tragedy".

She accepted the inquiry's single recommendation on testing for those who had a transfusion before 1991, and said the Scottish government would review and improve the financial support schemes offered to those affected and their families.

Ms Robison added: "While this was a UK - indeed international - issue, I hope that today's report means that those affected in Scotland now have at least some of the answers they have long called for."

The probe, which was headed by former High Court judge Lord Penrose, said more should have been done to screen blood and donors for Hepatitis C in the early 1990s, and that the collection of blood from prisoners should have stopped sooner.

Patients were not adequately informed of the risks because of the paternalistic attitude of doctors at the time, it found.

But the inquiry concluded that nothing more could have been done to prevent the transmission of HIV.

And it said that when actions in Scotland were compared to other countries around the world, they held up well.

The inquiry also found that there were "few aspects in which matters could or should have been handled differently" and said the inquiry had to take into account the conditions that had prevailed at the time rather than judge by today's standards.

The inquiry had more than 13,000 pages of transcript, in addition to 200 witness statements and 120,000 documents, in its database.

Lord Penrose is seriously ill and was not present at the event, which opened with a minute's silence for those who had been affected.

'Broken lives'

A statement was read out on his behalf by inquiry secretary Maria McCann, who said patients in the late 1980s had been "confronted with the reality that what had been presented as a treatment to extend life and improve its quality carried a risk of serious and potentially fatal disease.

"The resultant distress, anger and distrust were clearly demonstrated to the inquiry."

There were shouts of "whitewash" from several members of the public who were present.

Bill Wright, from Haemophilia Scotland, begged people to stay to listen to him, saying: "This is by no means the end of the story."

One woman shouted: "We've shed enough tears."

Mr Wright said, sobbing: "I am one of you, I am infected."

He said of the report: "It's not about broken processes, it's about broken lives" and said now was the time for an apology.

Mr Wright added: "At first sight the report appears to disorganised and impenetrable. Worse still it might appear on first reading to be a whitewash with frankly some of the chairman's assertions seemingly barely rational.

"Look a bit deeper and there is a narrative setting out the case that cannot be avoided by the government and its moral responsibility."

He said there needed to be an "official apology", better compensation and a review of the report.

The inquiry's remit was to investigate how the NHS collected, treated and supplied blood.

Lord Penrose also scrutinised what patients were told, how they were monitored and why patients became infected.
