R v Bristow [2013] EWCA Crim 148

Court: Court of Appeal (Criminal Division)

Facts: D and others committed a burglary, hitting V with a vehicle while fleeing.

Held: Conviction upheld. The court found that the circumstances of the burglary, including the use of a vehicle, rendered the act dangerous. Reasonable and sober person would recognise this as a dangerous act.

Key Judicial Statement: Lord Justice Hughes noted, "A burglary can be deemed dangerous based on the circumstances surrounding it, even if the burglary itself is not inherently dangerous."
