DOUBLE INCHOATE CRIMES: SERVING A USEFUL PURPOSE OR DOUBLE TROUBLE? Déry v The Queen; Attorney General of Canada et al, Interveners [2007] 213 CCC (3d) 289 (SCC)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Inchoate crimes have been categorized by Husak as either “complex” inchoate crimes, such as attempt, conspiracy or incitement (the equivalent of which is known as “solicitation” in US law, and “counselling” in Canadian law) and “simple” inchoate crimes such ashousebreaking with intent, drunk driving and crimes of possession, where the crime serves as a means to punish an actor before a certain harm has been completed. A combination of inchoate crimes may be referred to as “double inchoate crimes”. Concerns have been expressed about the use of double inchoate crimes to found criminal liability. Whilst a combination of the categories typically does not give rise to difficulties in South African law, and is generally uncontroversial, the question arises whether a combination of complex inchoate crimes is appropriate, particularly in the light of criticism of such formulations in certain jurisdictions (such as Canada and the United States), and statutory restrictions on certain formulations in others (such as England).This question will be examined in the light of the recent decision of the Canadian Supreme Court decision of R v Déry.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
