Contract law

    Is the defence of ‘loss of control’ to the offence of murder outside the particular circumstances that arose in R v Zebedee (2012) and R v Clinton, Parker and Evans (2012), and, if so, do the requirements for the defence as set out in R v Clinton, Parker and Evans (2012) leave room for the jury to take into account the defendant's the loss of control might follow from the cumulative impact of earlier events, or are they purely objective?
