Chapter 13 Interactive key cases

Other property offences
Overruling Caldwell, the House of Lords held a person acts recklessly within the meaning of s 1 CDA 1971 in respect of a result when he is aware of a risk that it will occur, and it is, in the circumstances known to him, unreasonable to take that risk.
Intention or recklessness in s 1(2) is directed to danger to life caused by the damaged property and not by the way in which it is damaged.
