With respect to the common law definition, we can refer to Windeyer`s decision in Vallance v The Queen (1961) 108 CLR 56, in which His Honour (at p. 77) stated: “The meaning of `injury` is well understood. Lord Lyndhurst stated in 1834 that “the definition of injury in criminal cases is an injury to the person by which the skin is broken. If the skin is broken and there has been bleeding, it is an injury. The Offences Against the Person Act 1861 establishes the law relating to injury in England and Wales, and considerable case law has been established to help define injury, injury and assault. However, in medico-legal circumstances, the situation becomes unclear, as there is no legal definition of an “injury” or “injury”. Some authors therefore suggest using the term “injury” when there is an injury following an attack (Mason 2001 p.106-7). In criminal cases, the definition of an “injury” is an injury to the person in whom the skin is broken. Staat v.
Leonhard, 22 MB. 451; Moriarty v. Brooks, 6 cars. and P.084. In forensic medicine, the term “wound” is much more widely used than in surgery. In the latter case, strictly speaking, it is a solution of continuity; in the first case, injuries of any kind affecting hard or soft parts; and consequently among them are bruises, bruises, fractures, dislocations” etc. 2 Beck, Med.Jur. 100. This definition would not cover bruises, but in R/Wood (1830) it seems that such situations could be covered by other charges of actual or serious bodily harm. Although not a crime in itself, glazed crimes in hotels or clubs are generally considered bodily harm. Looking at the legal definition of a “wound”, we can see in R v M`Loughlin (1838) that there must be a rupture in all the skin (or adjacent mucosa).
The wound requires breaking the continuity of the entire skin, the dermis and epidermis must be broken, but do not involve the rupture of internal blood vessels. Under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861, the prosecution must prove that the defendant acted unlawfully and maliciously: raped with intent to make GBH; or GBH with the intention of doing so; or was violated with intent to resist or prevent the lawful arrest or detention of a person; or GBH with the intent to resist or prevent the lawful arrest or detention of any person. Maleficent means “intentional or reckless.” Another context with respect to injuries is also found in the decision of Robert Goff C.J. in JJC (a minor) v Einsenhower [1983] 3 IIA ER 230 (QBD), where His Lordship stated (at p. 232): In general medical terms, an “injury” is considered an injury to bodily tissue, and a layman would likely consider an “injury” to be an injury, caused by something other than an instrument. Hrsg. Jur. This term in forensic medicine includes all injuries to the body and differs in this from the meaning of the word when used in surgery. The latter refers only to a solution of continuity, while the former includes not only this, but also any other type of accident such as bruises, bruises, fractures, dislocations and others.
In criminal cases, the definition of an “injury” is an injury to the person by which the skin is broken. In forensic medicine, the term “wound” is much more widely used than in surgery. In the latter case, strictly speaking, it is a solution of continuity; in the first case, injuries of any kind affecting hard or soft parts; and, as a result, among them are bruises, bruises, fractures, dislocations. Supported by Black`s Law Dictionary, Free 2nd ed., and The Law Dictionary. “There must be a break in the continuity of the skin.” While cost was an important factor, our relationship with LexisNexis, its responsiveness, flexibility and integration with other products were key factors. The injury is mentioned 1 in the Encyclopaedia of Forms and Precedents “Bodily harm” and “assault” were formerly common law offences, now included in the Criminal Justice Act 1988, at p. 39; R. v. Wilson (1983) points out that injuries can be “inflicted” even in the absence of an “attack” and that injuries can be “caused” without the use of force if they are “intentional” and intended to be “severe.” .
