... "Foresight of consequences is not the same as intent." For this essay I have been asked to explain and discuss using case law, the statement that foresight of consequences is not the same as intent. I feel firstly I must explain both terms using a Cambridge dictionary: The definition of Intention is a desire or purpose. The exact meaning of this has been open to considerable discussion and has been the subject of Law Commission recommendations for change. The definition of the Foresight of a consequence is basically to foresee the consequences of ones actions before they occur. This has also been open to considerable discussion. There are several ways a person can kill. Firstly, with the Purpose of killing the victim, secondly not wishing the death of the victim, but knowing death is a certainty of their actions, thirdly not wishing the death of the victim but knowing there is a substantial risk
