The Supreme Court is hearing an appeal concerning the death of Peter Farquhar in the Maids Moreton murder case, with the central issue being who was legally responsible for his death.
Arguments before the court are focused on the legal question of causation. The hearing will consider how responsibility for Mr Farquhar’s death should be determined under the law.
The case has reached the Supreme Court as an appeal, although the supplied information does not set out the grounds of the challenge or the arguments being advanced by either side.
