Bullard v The Queen

Details

Type: Case

Citation: [1957] AC 635, PC

Summary: Same evidence adduced in support of unsuccessful defence of self-defence might be relied on in whole or in part as affording provocation sufficient to reduce murder to manslaughter — Every person on trial for murder had right to have issue of manslaughter left to jury if any evidence on which such verdict could be given — Deprivation of that right constituted grave miscarriage of justice
