Last Proximate Act Test
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Last proximate act test, means a common law test for the crime of attempt, based on whether the defendant does the final act necessary to commit an offence (such as pulling the trigger of a gun, not merely aiming if). This test has been rejected by most courts as too lenient, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 887.
