Payne v The People (Appeal 123 of 1973) [1973] ZMSC 1 (12 March 1973)
Where a police officer unlawfully strikes first, he is not acting in execution of his duty for criminal assault charges.
  • Criminal law — Assault on police officer — execution of duty — unlawful assault by officer removes protection of ‘in execution of duty’; civil vicarious liability irrelevant to criminal charge — trial magistrate bias and appellate re-evaluation
