| These features of the defence of self-defence are critical to the outcome of this appeal. |
| Plainly this defence must not be confused with self-defence under public international law. |
| It seems clear that the judge also rejected the defences of accident and self-defence. |
| It was thrown to him to use in self-defence presumably and he did just that. |
| In such circumstances the wounding of V would not be unlawful as it would be justified by the defence of self-defence. |
| That was the trial judge's view as well and he did not leave self-defence to the jury. |
