Topic Case/Example Key law/principle What happened Why it matters How to use in exam
s2
Dishonesty
R v Ghosh [1982] Ghosh Test for dishonesty Introduced two-stage test-objective and subjective-on whether an act was dishonest. Established legal test for dishonesty under s2 before later reform. Refer to test used at the time to determine dishonesty in theft before Ivey v Genting.
Ivey v Genting Casinos [2017] Current dishonesty test SC replaced Ghosh with a purely objective test for dishonesty. Sets out current legal position for assessing dishonesty in theft. Apply this objective test to exam scenarios about dishonesty (do not use Ghosh after 2017).
s3
Appropriation
R v Morris [1984] Assumption of any rights D switched price labels in a supermarket-held as appropriation. Confirms appropriating any of owner's rights is sufficient for theft. Use to support definition of appropriation in scenarios involving tampering with property.
R v Gomez [1993] Consent is irrelevant D persuaded manager to accept stolen cheques; held: appropriation can occur even with consent. Clarifies consent doesn't prevent appropriation under s3. Apply where appropriation occurs despite consent (e.g. fraudulently accepted payments).
s4
Property
Oxford v Moss [1979] Information is not 'property' D took exam paper, read information, returned it; info not "property". Sets the limits for what counts as 'property' for the purposes of theft. Cite to exclude certain things (e.g. confidential info) from 'property' in exams.
R v Kelly [1999] Body parts as property Body parts kept for medical/scientific purposes considered property. Shows courts can extend "property" to include body parts with application of skill. Use in questions on unusual types of property-e.g., medical specimens.
s5
Belonging to Another
R v Turner (No 2) [1971] Possession/control, not ownership D took his own car from a garage without paying for repairs. Illustrates that property can 'belong' to anyone in possession/control. Apply to cases where D takes "own" property from someone with legal control.
R v Woodman [1974] Possession without knowledge Factory owners had control over scrap metal, even if unaware of it. Shows that belonging to another includes property owner is unaware of. Support "belonging to another" even if V is unaware of the item.
s6
Int. to Permanently Deprive
R v Velumyl [1989] Replacing with equivalent is theft D took money from employer intending to return different notes/coins. Shows that replacing identical property isn't a defence to theft. Use when D claims they meant to return item later-can't be identical notes.
R v Lloyd [1985] Intention to borrow/replace D borrowed film reel, planning to return it after copying. No intent to permanently deprive as property not 'all its goodness or virtue gone'. Cite where D intended to return the item in its original condition-may not be theft.
s7
Sentencing
Sentencing Guidelines Maximum 7 years custodial sentence Section 7 Theft Act sets sentencing powers; actual sentences depend on facts and value. Shows the potential seriousness of a theft conviction. Mention sentencing options when discussing consequences of theft.
