Q

Hays r V (successful/ unsuccessful use of a document)

A

an unsuccessful use of a document is as much use as a successful one.

An unsuccessful use does not equal an attempted use.

The concept of attempt relates to use, not to the ultimate obtaining of a pecuniary advantange (which is not a necessary element of the offence)

Because the use does not have to be successful it may be difficult to draw a clear line between use and attempted use.

54
Q

The next purchaser then has good title. (not voidable title)

56

No, it title was not voided before the sale then that property remains with the new owner as they have good title over that property.

Police should only implement acts in search/ seizure of property for evidential purposes and not to assist in civil matters.

Q

is it an offence to receive property with a voided title?

A

if the original owner voids the title, leaving the thief/fraudster in possession of the property (no title to the property), and the thief/fraudster then sells the property to someone else, that person may be liable for recieving stolen property.
Consider though if this person was innocent and received the goods in good/bad faith.
