Northern Territory Consolidated Acts Northern Territory Consolidated Acts43AU. Intoxication - relevance to defences
(1) If any part of a defence is based on actual knowledge or belief, evidence of intoxication may be considered in determining whether that knowledge or belief existed.
(2) However, if:
(a) each physical element of an offence has a fault element of basic intent; and
(b) any part of a defence is based on actual knowledge or belief,
evidence of self-induced intoxication cannot be considered in determining whether that knowledge or belief existed.
(3) If any part of a defence is based on reasonable belief, in determining whether that reasonable belief existed, regard must be had to the standard of a reasonable person who is not intoxicated.
(4) If a person's intoxication is not self-induced, in determining whether any part of a defence based on reasonable belief exists, regard must be had to the standard of a reasonable person intoxicated to the same extent as the person concerned.
