0 7 Asha was using a forklift truck to move some heavy boxes at work. As she placed one
box on a shelf, she heard a scream. Bilal, who was on the other side of the shelf, had
become trapped when the box landed on his arm. When Asha realised what she had
done she laughed and shouted, “You can stay there!”.
Using the principle of coincidence (the contemporaneity rule), suggest why, in law, Asha is
likely to have satisfied the requirement for both the actus reus and mens rea to be present
at the same time.

with her flatmate, Daisy. During the argument, Cassie suddenly grabbed a tennis racket
and struck Daisy a powerful blow. This attack resulted in grievous bodily harm to Daisy
by breaking her arm in two places.
Advise Cassie, with regard to the mens rea of s18 and s20 (Offences Against the Person
Act 1861), whether she could avoid criminal liability for the injury to Daisy by pleading
intoxication.
