CCCJ Webinar: 'Contemporary Issues in Criminal Causation'

4:30-6:00pm

Causation is a core concept in criminal law, and yet its meaning and application continue to attract controversy in theory and practice. Recent cases including Wallace, Broughton, Field and Rebelo demonstrate the complex causal issues that continue to bedevil the courts, particularly in homicide, despite previous attempts to state potentially general principles (such as Kennedy and Hughes).

In this Cambridge Centre for Criminal Justice webinar, distinct perspectives on these recent developments, and the wider context in which they sit, will be given by:

• Victoria Ailes, 6KBW College Hill;
• Nathan Rasiah QC, 23 Essex Street;
• Dr Jonathan Rogers, University Assistant Professor, University of Cambridge, and Co-Deputy Director of the CCCJ;
• Professor Jane Stapleton, Master of Christ’s College, Cambridge;

There will be a Q&A session where participants will be given the opportunity to discuss causal issues in the criminal law with the speakers and each other.
