Legal Causation, operative and subsantial cause- R v Smith
Actual Bodily harm

Cutting off a person's hair without his/her consent can amount to ABH
T v DPP
V was chased by D. V fell and was kicked in the head and v briefly blacked out
Even a very short loss of consciousness can amount to ABH
Mens Rea
The same as the mens rea for assault or battery
Assault- Intention or recklessness to cause V to apprehend immediate unlawful force
Battery- Intention or recklessness to apply unlawful force
No additional mens rea is needed for ABH itself
R v Savage
D aimed to throw the contents of glass over v but accidentally allowed the glass to slip causing injury to v
