C/L/148. 'The fudge, initiated in Hancock and which reached its apogee in Nedrick as to whether intention is a state of mind which can be inferred from foresight of probability or, if not probability, then virtual certainty, or whether foresight of virtual certainty is a form of intention has been eradicated. The House of Lords in Woollin has firmly nailed its colours to the mast of the latter'

This assignment requires us to consider the statement above and whether or not we agree with this statement. In order to discuss this reference will be made to these three cases in detail and other relevant case law, then it will be concluded that like the author of this paper, it is not agreed that the House of Lords have firmly nailed its colours to the mast of the latter and that the law in this area still remains as uncertain and unclear as it ever was.
