Pour pouvoir bénéficier de la défense de provocation, l'accusé doit être en mesure d'établir que la victime a proféré une insulte ou un acte injuste tellement grave qu'une personne ordinaire, placée dans les mêmes circonstances que lui, aurait perdu la maitrise d'elle-même et aurait été poussée au meurtre. Il doit aussi avoir tué dans un accès de colère, sous l'impulsion du moment et avant d'avoir eu le temps de reprendre son sang-froid.  1, fiche 1, Français, - d%C3%A9fense%20de%20provocation

A composite liability was imposed in a recent case on an organization for the acts of several servants, none of whom individually could be proved culpable. The defendant's buyer made a misrepresentation in reliance on information supplied to him by the accountant based on inadequate data. The latter was not liable because he had made no representation to the plaintiff, nor was the former because he was not negligent in passing it on. Yet their firm was held responsible, not vicariously, but presumably for breach of its personal duty of care.  1, fiche 2, Anglais, - composite%20liability

All crimes have several basic elements. First, the defendant must have committed a voluntary act("actus reus")... Secondly, a defendant must have a culpable intent("mens rea"). Mens rea represents the requirement that a person possess a "culpable state of mind" to be punished for a crime...  5, fiche 3, Anglais, - culpable%20intent

mens rea: a guilty mind. Although as a general rule there must be a mind at fault before there can be a crime, it is not an inflexible rule, and a statute may relate to such a subject-matter and may be so framed as to make an act criminal whether there has been an intention to break the law or otherwise do wrong or not.  6, fiche 3, Anglais, - culpable%20intent

Apportionment is... equally proper where a separate part of the damage is attributable to an innocent, rather than a culpable cause. Thus a motorist who faultlessly knocks down a pedestrian but thereafter fails to apply his brakes promptly, will be answerable only for those injuries due to his subsequent failure to stop on time.  1, fiche 4, Anglais, - innocent%20cause

One issue that attracts much attention is whether a corporation should be at fault or culpable before liability is imposed, and precisely what corporate fault or corporate culpability means. In other words, what liability standard should be required before imposing liability on the corporation.  3, fiche 5, Anglais, - corporate%20culpability

Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 CONT

In the context of criminal liability, the concepts of intent and corporate wrongdoing are not reducible to the individual intent of the employees, managers or officers. They correspond, rather, to the express or implicit policies governing the activities of the corporation. Corporate fault should, therefore, be sought in the corporate culture.  4, fiche 5, Anglais, - corporate%20culpability

Dans le contexte de la responsabilité pénale, les notions d'intention et de faute corporative ne pourraient se réduire à l'intention individuelle des employés, gérants ou directeurs. Elles correspondraient plutôt aux politiques expresses ou implicites gouvernant les activités de la personne morale. La faute corporative serait donc à rechercher dans la culture corporative.  3, fiche 5, Français, - faute%20corporative
