Law Commission Homicide Review: Felicity Gerry KC Submits Evidence

A brief but impactful submission addressing reform priorities in GBH rule, complicity, infanticide, consent, and domestic abuse-related cases.

Dr Felicity Gerry KC has submitted a response to the Law Commission’s call for evidence in their current review of the law relating to homicide offences. Her submission briefly addresses several critical areas for reform, including the separation of the GBH rule from murder, the treatment of complicity in homicide cases, infanticide, consent and so-called “mercy killings,” as well as cases involving domestic violence and coercive control.

Felicity also expressed her gratitude to the Commission for granting an extension of time to make this contribution. You can read her full submission here.
