The Durham rule, established in 1954, states that a defendant is not criminally responsible if the unlawful act was a product of mental disease or defect. This rule expanded the legal definition of insanity in criminal cases beyond the M'Naghten rule.

Lord Durham's Report eventually led to 'responsible' government in the pre-Confederation Province of Canada.
