(b) This statement is correct. See SG 7.3.3.
(c) This statement is correct. See SG 5.2.3(2); Reader 52; Casebook 61.

QUESTION 7

(a) This statement is incorrect. Putative private defence occurs when X thinks
that she was entitled to act in private defence. It is not a real situation of
private defence. But it is an example of a mistake relating to the element of
unlawfulness (i.e. the existence of a ground of justification). See SG 10.3 to
understand which wrong impression of facts qualifies as a material mistake
that affords X a defence excluding culpability. This form of mistake does
exclude culpability. See 10.6.1.
