R v. Blaue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
R v Blaue [1975] 61 Cr App R 271 is a case in English law in which the Court of Appeal decided that the refusal of a Jehova's Witness to accept a blood transfusion after being stabbed did not constitute a novus actus interveniens for the purposes of legal causation, Lawton LJ ruling that, as a matter of public policy, those "who use violence on others must take their victims as they find them.", envoking the thin-skull rule.
