So, by that reasoning, if a parent makes a bad decision that injures their child, the child is not entitled to recover damages? For example, in the case of a road traffic accident?

That's not really comparible.
She's 90 and a lot of people that age are perfectly capable of decision making, it doesn't mean she is someone elses responsibility mearly because she's old

If a parent makes a concious decision behind the wheel of a car and has a road traffic accident and they have a child on board, then surely that is classed as attempted manslaughter(or attempted vehicular assisted manslaughter)?

you may have a point that the child could claim from the parent.

But then in this circumstance would not the granny be claiming from the daughter for allowing it to happen? (And I NEVER ever said that that could not be an outcome! I thought we were discussing blaming Tesco's?)

I'm not sure there is such a thing as attemped manslaughter.

Attempted vehicular assisted manslaughter? Are you making these up as you go along?

you cannot have attempted manslaughter ,,

the reason being is you cannot attempt to not knowingly cause injury or death to another .. to attemp to suggests intent

the reason being manslaughter is the charge for death by accident where the mens rea would have beennot guilty but the actus rea would
for example failiure to check the breaks of a brand new car where death is caused because of it ..
the person checking would not have wanted to kill anyone but the faliure to check caused the death

"I read in the paper today that the mother of murdered Scarlett Kelling once served one year in jail after attacking a man with a knife. One thing puzzled me though. It says "Hippy Fiona, then 18, and a female pal were accused of attempted murder. But the charge was reduced to attempted manslaughter after the 1983 trial and Fiona served one year of a three year sentence. "

there is sucha thing as attempted manslaughter but is a rarely used term

I will let everyone google "attempted Manslaughter" because it is ambiguous anyway.

I presume you know what vehicular assisted murder is though? i will explain it to you if you don't , it means "Death with the help of a vehicle"

You can put the rest together yourself.

If you bring me down to your level - I do enjoy a good scrap!

So just to put my mind a rest you would put the mechanic at a car dealership in jail for manslaughter for this crime would you? (think carefully before you answer)

if i was being paid to defend said mechanic then i would obviousley do all i can to prevent them being jailed for this crime ..

if i was being paid to prosecute then i would do my best to put the guilty party in jail for the crime

it would also depend on how long after the car was sold or relesed from check to when the accident happened .
