Talk:R v R

New article
Just so people know, I intend to write an article to fit in this gap, and will then remove the redirect. Alright with everyone? Pascal (talk) 00:58, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Pronunciation
I understand that in English case names, R is usually short for "Regina" (or "Rex") and is thus pronounced "Crown". In this case one of the Rs is the defendant (or more precisely the appellant), so it would be pronounced "R" instead. But which one? Is it "Crown and R" or "R and Crown"? I would guess the latter since this is an appeal? Hairy Dude (talk) 13:23, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It's as in The Crown vs R (The letter R being used as a substitute for the defendant's real name because of the nature of the case). It's a continuation of the original charge and court case, which is where R v R originated.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 18:48, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * As you can see here, The Crown comes first as the origin of the initial case but the appellant has "(appellant)" after his name in official reports to show that R brought the case and Brown (example) is appealing against the judgement of that case.

CJPOA 1994
The article currently reads:

"The judgment in R v R was supported by the Law Commission and was later confirmed in statute law by an amendment to the Sexual Offences Act in the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994."

The section alluded to reads:

(1) is the same as the section before it was amended. (2) doesn't repudiate the assumption of consent in marital cases. (3) is not about marital rape, but about sex between a man and a woman who is not his wife. So how exactly does this "confirm" the abolition of the marital rape exemption?
