ABSTRACT
JUDGMENT ‘It is proper that any rational system of law should take fully into account the standards of honest and reasonable men … If then someone is really threatened with death or serious injury unless he does what he is told is the law to pay no heed to the miserable,
agonising plight of such a person? For the law to understand not only how the timid but also the stalwart may in a moment of crisis behave is not to make the law weak but to make it just.’
