Hi, I am looking for someone to write an article on man test for criminal cases Paper must be at least 1500 words. Please, no plagiarized work! In Camplin [1978] Lord Simon said ‘it is one thing to invoke the reasonable man for the standard of self-control which the law requires: it is quite another to substitute some hypothetical being from whom all mental and physical attributes (except perhaps sex) have been abstracted.’2

The reasonable man enigma has been the subject of much discussion in cases involving defenses of provocation and demonstrates the extent to which this concept has from time to time been reduced by and large to a more subjective test. At times it appears to be more of a consideration of the level of control expected of the defendant, given his particular character traits. Section 3 of the Homicide Act 1957 provides that ‘where on a charge of murder there is evidence on which the jury can find that the person charged was provoked (whether by things done or by things said or by both together) to lose his self-control, the question whether the provocation was enough to make a reasonable man do as he did shall be left to be determined by the jury. and in determining that question, the jury shall take into account everything both done and said according to the effect which, in their opinion, it would have on a reasonable man.’3

Prior to the implementation of Section 3 of the Homicide Act, 1957 common law recognized the application of the reasonable man case but was more inclined to apply it in the strict sense. For instance in R v Lesbini [1914] 3 K.B. 1116 the defendant raised provocation as a defense and argued that although he was sane he was ‘afflicted with defective control and want of mental balance’ therefore the objective test could not apply to his case. The Court of Appeal rejected this argument and maintained that the standard to be applied was the reasonable man test and that the objective level of self-control of the&nbsp.ordinary man would apply.
