1. Fundamental Principles & Concepts

If an accused argues that he is unfit to plead then he must prove that unfitness on the balance of probabilities. If an accused raises the defence of insanity or diminished responsibility he must prove, on the balance of probabilities that he was insane at the time of committing the offence. These defences will be considered later in the course.
