註釋Provides background & analysis of a particular case of wife abuse. The wife in this case killed her husband. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada and the court restored Ms Lavallee's acquittal, thereby recognizing "battered wife syndrome" as a defence to murder. Discussion of the court's comments and "self-defence" are included in the background.
