Record 2 2011-06-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tort Law (common law)

  • Droit des délits (common law)
CONT

L'aliénation mentale ne donne pas par elle-même une immunité complète contre la responsabilité d'un délit intentionnel, mais l'incapacité mentale peut fournir un moyen de défense à certains défendeurs, même si certaines décisions anciennes appuient la thèse contraire.
