Consent and Restraint in the Law of Assault
From: Sovereignty, Restraint, and Guidance
$3.20
Chapter 6 shows how differences in legislative purpose can transform the meaning of superficially similar concepts and language, and that the courts can sometimes struggle to cope with legislative innovation (or the lack thereof ). It takes its point of departure from the 1983 and 1992 legislative reforms to the law of rape and sexual assault.
