ANNECDOTE. The majority of the High Court in Clark v Marcourt, awarded damages of approximately A$1.2 million to the appellant, as the respondent was found guilty of breaching various warranties of the deed to purchase various property from a fertility centre, putting the appellant at a significantly better financial position than she would have been in had the breach not occurred.

Life does not frequently imitate art. The case of R v. Smith [2011] EWCA Crime 1296 is evocative of the famed and beloved masterpiece by Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment. The convicted murderer, Peter Smith, is very much a modern day Raskolnikov, though it's doubtful that he will reach the level of redemption that Dostoevsky's protagonist achieves. The case of R v. Smith [2011] EWCA Crim 1296 arose because of the murder of Hilda Owen, a 71- year old disabled woman who was found murdered in her home in Nottinghamshire in 2007. On March 1, 2007 when Owen was found dead on the floor of her own home, the injuries found on her body indicated that she had been beaten with a claw hammer and a screwdriver; a broken bone along the neck suggested strangulation as well (Fahy, 2012). There were wounds on her hands that pointed to the notion of her trying to defend herself; it was the blows to her head which caused the brain injuries which resulted in death, but the nature of the injuries indicated the victim no doubt had a long and intense amount of suffering as she slowly died, surviving after the attack 25 to 24 hours.

After Dr. Stone’s diagnoses of Sister Mary’s illness as a bowel obstruction just because she was a nun, he proceeds to carry her to the operating room. Later it is confirmed by Matron that the Sister was pregnant. Believed to be the father of the children, Dr. Stone, is given Sister Mary as his patient. Without any response, Dr. Stone knew then that he had to perform a Cesarean section, but he didn’t do that. It was obvious Dr. Stone was not mentally prepared to undertake the surgery. Upon seeing the head of the child, Dr. Stone shows no tenderness or compassion towards the child who he believed was threatening the life of the woman he loved. Instead, Dr. Stone acts if though the child was his enemy and shows the urge to fight against it. Sadly, he drills a hole in the skull of the “creature”, which he no longer thinks of it as child, crushes it head, and later pull it out from Sister Mary’s body.
