R v Reed

R v Reed

R v Reed (Nicholas) [1982] Crim. L.R. 819 is an English criminal law case, dealing with suicide and criminal conspiracy. The court ruled that the event that the defendant conspired about did not have to take place for an offence to have been committed.

The defendant was arranging suicide pacts, but no one actually committed suicide.

The court decided that if anyone had committed suicide, he would have been charged with, among other things, conspiring to aid and abet a suicide, so he should be charged now with the conspiracy.
