Image Defence Wikipedia.jpg thumb 300px right deFENCE project. Click to enlarge deFENCE is an interactive conceptual art project for freedom of cohabitation, designed in such a way as to include each beholder personally. In tradition of Marcel Duchamp , the two main roles of this exhibit are the work itself, and the person watching it. Only here, the subjective role of the beholder is not the only one. They are personally drawn into the exhibit, by way of a mirror . br The work represents a house, with its door wide open, inviting and welcoming every visitor. Except, a certain visitor is watching this house over a barbed wire fence. On the other hand, this visitor is being watched from the window of the house. The author s intention was to combine these two persons into one, so that people who had never had the chance to be on the other side of the barbed wire, can benefit in two ways Firstly, they can see how it is to be looking over a barbed wire into a house inviting you, which you cannot reach. And secondly, they can see themselves passively looking from the house at the person outside the fence, doing nothing to remove this segregation. The concept of this project is to bring to the attention of people living in the free world that many of the boundaries that segregate others in a non free world, are created by themselves. Or, at least, they do nothing to remove these boundaries. br The wish of the author is to help remove all boundaries that separate people and worlds. Note deFENCE project was created by Gregor Markovi from Serbia , in January 2006. It has been selected to take part at the International Design Biennial in St. Etienne, in 2006.

Globalize date December 2010 Defence costs are the cost that are incurred in the defence of a criminal trial in England and Wales . Should a defendant be acquitted they will almost always be awarded their defence costs. Defence costs will arise when a defendant is privately represented in a criminal matter. To be privately represented means that the defence will not be covered by legal aid . This tends to be because the defendant in question is wealthy. Defence costs will be assessed by a taxation master at the conclusion of most successful criminal trial s. Defendants will only be entitled to the proportion of their costs that are found to be reasonable.

unreferenced date December 2007 common law Criminal defenses In law, an absolute defence is a factual circumstance or argument that, if proven, will end the litigation in favor of the defendant . The concept of an absolute Defense legal defence is not a rigid one. Statutes frequently use the term merely as a synonym to full or complete . It is more often used, however, as a term of art in both criminal and civil law to refer to an underlying set of facts and laws, not raised by the complaint or indictment, which will require the defendant s dismissal even if the factual allegations of the complaining pleading are true. Another characteristic of an absolute defence is that, once it is pled and proven, it is not subject to mitigation or collateral attack. Examples of absolute defences include Truth of an allegedly libel ous statement in modern defamation a person cannot be made to pay damages for a defamatory statement, if the person can show that the statement is true even if the statement is damaging, and the person said it in bad faith . This is the case in some juridictions, including the United States, but not in others, including English law England and Wales .
