Gross negligence manslaughter in Guernsey law

Abstract

This article analyses the development of the law of homicide in
Guernsey, with particular focus on the offence of gross negligence
manslaughter. This follows a recent trial in the Royal Court of
Guernsey where the existence of this offence was questioned by the
defence, then formally recognised and the elements of proof clearly
defined.
