Duress is a complete defence to a criminal charge which means it leads to a verdict of ‘not guilty’ your actions were committed under duress if:
To rely on the defence, there must be evidence before the court that is capable of supporting a reasonable inference you acted under duress.
Once that evidence is before the court, the prosecution must disprove duress ‘beyond reasonable doubt’.
If it is unable to do so, you are entitled to an acquittal.
