Thus stated, there is no reference to the defendant's intention or awareness of the risks: the fact that D has chosen to commit rape, robbery, or another serious offence, and has caused death thereby, is held to constitute sufficient moral grounds for placing the killing in the highest category.
A fourth approach, adopted by English law until 1957 and still in force in many American jurisdictions, is some form of felony-murder rule: anyone who kills during the course of a felony (or, more restrictively, a serious crime of violence) or whilst resisting arrest should be convicted of murder.

The authors of that report accepted that there is a theoretical limit of 2–3 weeks in explicit prediction of day-to-day fluctuations in weather because of the influence of small-scale turbulence within the large-scale dynamics; such limits imply that medium and long-term prediction must inevitably be stochastic.
This has been recognized by, among others, ESSC (1988).

The divergence was sharpened by the application of a theoretical distinction, the fruit of Augustinian theology, amplified as the century went on by canon and Roman law reference; princes pronounced their campaigns just wars (fought against aggressors with the aim of re-establishing peace) or public wars (declared by a competent authority in the public interest), while they condemned the wars of lesser men as infractions of the peace.
Inevitably, therefore, war on the grand scale as fought by princes bore little resemblance in practice to the feuds of lesser men.

A hazard is a threat which, given a set of circumstances, may become translated into a realized event.
Formally, a hazard can be defined as: β€˜ a physical situation with a potential for human injury, damage to property, damage to the environment, or some combination of these ’ (Health and Safety Executive 1989: 30).
What we choose to call this event depends upon factors such as its magnitude: we speak for instance of accidents, emergencies, disasters and catastrophes, each of which carries connotations concerning the scale of the event and each of which will have a set of human and/or environmental consequences.

Finally, after the third month passed with no rent received, Debbie phoned the tenants, asked them to pay her directly, and sent Landlords a recorded-delivery letter, which was returned, and finally one by ordinary post stating that Landlords were no longer employed as the managing agents.
She repeatedly phoned Landlords, but was either unable to get an answer or told that manager Howard Keizner was unavailable.
Because they hadn't done any management, Debbie felt Landlords were entitled only to the 10 per cent tenant- finding fee and therefore owed her Β£2,400 (3 months' rent plus the deposit).
