The detachment of the job of the crew and the initiation of the fire setting breaks the chain of logic. In State v. Pelham, 824 A.2d 1082 (N.J. 2003), Pelham was convicted second-degree murder because there was no sufficient intervening event that explain the death of the deceased in a new way. Pelham, a reckless drunk driver, fatally hit the deceased and the family members of the deceased stopped ventilation equipment according to the wish of the deceased.

For example, imagine during discovery the defense discovered that Lucinda had a disease process that effected balance and coordination. Now, imagine Lucinda’s broken arm was not the result of a dare but rather learning to use crutches.

The corrections department, or in this case, the defendant, claimed that Tomcik`s cancer was already so developed, that her breast would have been removed regardless of when her official checkup and treatment took place. One stakeholder in this case is Janet Tomcik. She is the patient who not only lost her breast, but endured “physical pain, [and] emotional suffering,” (Tomcik, 1991).

  • Montreal Convention 1999 Essay

    744 Words  | 3 Pages

    According to Article 17(1) of the Montreal Convention 1999 (“MC”), “the carrier is liable for damage sustained in case of death or bodily injury of a passenger upon condition only that the accident which caused the death or injury took place on board the aircraft or in the course of any of the operations of embarking or disembarking.” There are thus 3 tenets to the rule that imposes liability on carriers. There must be 1) damage sustained in case of death or bodily injury of a passenger; 2) an accident that caused the death or injury; 3) it must have occurred while the passenger was on board the aircraft or embarking/disembarking. For purposes of this question, part 3 would be discussed extensively in relation to case law.

    Here a compensation tribunal was set up to compensate the families of victims who had died in the Stardust tragedy. The grieving father of one victim sought a review of a decision made by the tribunal to award the mother of a victim compensation and the father no compensation. The court refused to quash the decision of the tribunal and, strangely, agreed that there were circumstances which justified awarding of compensation to one parent and not the other. This decision was made by a court which was quite critical of the approach taken by Lord Diplock in GCHQ. Henchy J. said he would be ‘slow to test reasonableness by seeing if it accords with logic’ and would be ‘equally slow’ to accept the moral standard criteria believing it a vague and inconsistent principle to base reasonableness on.
