Question
The defence of duress is only available where there is a nexus between the threat and the crime.
[ case ] FACTS: Cole pleaded the defence of duress to robbing two building societies on the basis that he had been threatened by moneylenders to whom he was in debt. HELD: The Court of Appeal held that a plea of duress was not available as the moneylenders had not stipulated that he commit robbery to meet their demands.

'[T]he defence of duress by threats can only apply when the offence charged … is the very offence which was nominated by the person making the threat, i.e. when the accused was required by the threat to commit the offence charged.' (Per Simon Brown LJ.)

Answer
R v Cole [1994] Crim LR 582 (CA)
