PART I - General Provisions
TITLE II - Interpretation and General Explanations
The Standard Tests and the Keywords
8.-(1) The standard test of recklessness as to result is-
Did the person whose conduct is in issue foresee that his conduct might produce the result and, if so, was it unreasonable for him to take the risk of producing it?
(2) The standard test of recklessness as to circumstances is-
Did the person whose conduct is in issue realise that the circumstances might exist and, if so, was it unreasonable for him to take the risk of their existence?
(3) The appropriate key words are “reckless”, "recklessness” and “recklessly”.
(4) The question whether it was unreasonable for the person to take the risk is to be answered by an objective assessment of his conduct in the light of all relevant factors, but on the assumption that any judgment he may have formed of the degree of risk was correct.
