| 释义 |
In legal systems based on common law, a partial defence is a defence that does not completely absolve the defendant of guilt.{{citation needed|date=June 2015}} In UK Law, successfully pleading a partial defence for murder may reduce the conviction to voluntary manslaughter. There are three types of partial defence in the UK - loss of control,[1] diminished responsibility and suicide pact. These defences can only be applied to the charge of murder as per Section 54 of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009.
