When the right of private defence of property does not extends to causing death ?

House-breaking by night
Mischief or house trespass
Robbery
Theft as reasonably caused apprehension of death if right of private defence not

The correct answer is (d).

The right of private defence of property is a common law right that allows a person to use reasonable force to protect their property from harm. However, this right does not extend to causing death, except in certain circumstances.

One circumstance in which the right of private defence of property may extend to causing death is if the person reasonably believes that their life is in danger. For example, if a person breaks into your house at night and you believe that they are armed and intend to harm you, you may use deadly force to defend yourself.

Another circumstance in which the right of private defence of property may extend to causing death is if the person reasonably believes that death is the only way to prevent serious harm to their property. For example, if a person is trying to steal your car and you believe that they will destroy it if you do not stop them, you may use deadly force to prevent them from taking the car.

However, the right of private defence of property does not extend to causing death in all circumstances. For example, if a person is trying to steal your TV and you believe that you can stop them without using deadly force, you are not allowed to use deadly force.

The right of private defence of property is a complex area of law and it is important to seek legal advice if you are unsure about your rights.
