It's the Queens Bench at present!

However, Prince William is a keen stalker - and appears more ready to stand publicly by his interest than HRH Charles.

The reasonable force provision does allow self defence, but you know us Brits - for the most part it would be considered impolite!.

Tony Martin is an ongoing matter. By the standards of most US States, I do not think there would have been a problem. Position here already covered and is an arguable point.

He probably never read Mas Ayoob et al, but if he had Condition Yellow would have either placed the property in a state to deter the unwelcome visit, perhaps prevented rumours of apparent wealth - which caused the burgulars to travel out to him, allowed application of over whelming tactical superiority - make surrender more likely etc. Hence diverting the need for sudden fear and the fateful shot (s)*

Defence claims he was surprised on a stairway and in mortal fear opened fire. Prosecution (thus far successful) claim he heard them and lay in wait by the stairs, opening fire repeatedly without warning.
