"Mental disorder automatism" arises only where involuntary action is found at law to result from a mental disorder and is subsumed by the defence of mental disorder. A successful claim of mental disorder automatism will trigger section 16 of the Criminal Code and result in a verdict of not-criminally responsible because of mental disorder. 1, record 1, English, - mental%20disorder%20automatism

L'automatisme peut également être un moyen de défense soulevé lorsqu'il y a présence d'une maladie mentale. À l'instar de la défense d'automatisme sans troubles mentaux, la défense d'automatisme avec troubles mentaux nécessite la négation du caractère volontaire de l'actus reus, par contre cette preuve doit être faite à l'intérieur des balises de la défense de troubles mentaux. En effet, la défense d'automatisme avec troubles mentaux doit être subsumée sous le cadre analytique de l'article 16 du Code criminel. 1, record 1, French, - automatisme%20avec%20troubles%20mentaux

L'automatisme sans troubles mentaux est un moyen de défense qui, s'il est retenu, permet à un accusé d'être acquitté purement et simplement de l'accusation portée contre lui. L'automatisme se définit «comme étant un état de conscience diminué, plutôt qu'une perte de conscience, dans lequel la personne, quoique capable d'agir, n'a pas la maîtrise de ses actions». 1, record 2, French, - automatisme%20sans%20troubles%20mentaux

The propounder of a will must prove by a preponderance of evidence that a testator was competent in every respect, and this includes negativing the existence of any insane delusions. On consideration of all the evidence and in the light of dealing with an otherwise thoroughly competent testator, the trial judge rejected the contention that a delusion existed. He found that the testator really believed the son to be legitimate, even though he expressed doubt. [1971] S. C. R., p. 847) 1, record 7, English, - competent%20testator

... slasher movies emphasize blood and gore, they tend to forsake plot and follow a simple formula. The standard slasher movie contains five basic elements : a killer, a terrible place, a weapon, victims, and a final girl. Killers are usually insane men who do not hold women in high regard. More than mere men, killers have the ability to survive attacks and be resurrected. The terrible place is often a house or other secluded/closed in area where the murders take place. Normally, the killer lives in a terrible place. 3, record 9, English, - slasher%20movie
