The judge stressed that Malik injured himself by grabbing the blade of the sword. The woman was terrified that he would seize the weapon from her and use it against her. She was totally blameless.

I'm not upset at the outcome but it seems she followed him into the garage to defend herself????
"It was then that the woman unsheathed the sword to defend herself and went out to the garage. She pointed it at Malik, who was trying to get away in the Audi, to keep him there until the police arrived.
He grabbed at the blade, cutting both his hands and leaving blood in the car and around the garage."
I'm sure he will sue the Home Office : "He needed blood transfusions and had lost all feeling in both his hands because the nerves were severed, his barrister Shufqat Khan said.
Malik was unable to get the treatment he needed while on remand in prison and might be left permanently disabled.
His cellmate was effectively his carer because he was unable to dress himself or open a can or bottle.
Mr Khan said the life-threatening and life-changing injury had led Malik to decide to change his ways. He had resolved not to commit any more offences."
No doubt he'll receive a multi million pound payout and live like a Lord.

Made my day that story! It should happen far more often. The judge stressed that Malik injured himself by grabbing the blade of the sword. The woman was terrified that he would seize the weapon from her and use it against her. She was totally blameless.

He had violently entered a residence (with two others) and was in the process of removing property. The resident is perfectly entitled to detain someone doing that. If they decide to take a weapon for defence while doing that then I fail to see a problem. She should have had the legal right to slice the

Whatever the law says you'd be pretty stupid to confront someone in those circumstances for defence of property.
Serves him right.
A good example for the, “You can’t defend yourself” types.

I know your legal credentials and therefore would bow to your knowledge but what I mean is that he would seek damages for the delay/ withholding of treatment that caused additional damage to his long term health. I assumed that any such case would be raised against the Home Office but happy to be corrected on either point.A good example for the, “You can’t defend yourself” types.

I have no legal credentials 
I misread the part you highlighted in bold, apologies!
Yes, I see what you mean now. Hopefully it's just hot air by his barrister.
