‘In a report in 2006 the Law Commission described the law governing homicide as: “a rickety structure set upon shaky foundations”. In the 20 years since the report, those structures and foundations have continued to shake.
‘The decision of the Law Commission to publish a consultation paper on homicide offences is therefore to be welcomed even if the final recommendations to government are not expected until 2028.’
