credit refers to the obligation on the debtor to pay or repay, in the time given for them to do so by the creditor..
Credit does not extend to an obligation to supply service or goods.

35
Q

explain timing of intention to decieve

A

the intention to deceive is essential and must exist at the time when the deception is perpetrated. so when the credit is obtained,a later decision not to repay is insufficient.

36
Q

explain delay or non payment of debt

A

it is not intent to deceive merely because there is:

  • delay or non payment of the debt, or
  • an inability to perform a bona fide intention

for example, to incur a debt and then be unable to pay through unforeseen circumstances, loss of money, or oversight, is not a deceit.

d. the number of persons making the allegations against the defendant, that are the same or similar
e. Whether the allegations described in para d may be the result of collusion or suggestibility
f. Th extent to which the act, omission, etc, are unusual.

42
Q

define title

A

simply means a legal right to property

note = if a seller, who has no right of ownership to the goods and acts without the authority of the true owner, attempts to pass title to a buyer, that buyer can receive no greater interest in the goods than the seller had.

43
Q

explain voidable title

A

a title obtained by deception, fraud, duress, or misrepresentation is called a voidable title. This means that the title can be ‘avoided’ by the seller.

therefore, if an innocent buyer purchases goods obtained by deception,before the title has been voided, then he or she is entitled to good property.

essentially until the title is avoided, the defrauder has a voidable title, and can confer good title on anyone who acquires the goods from him or her in good faith and for value.

44
Q

how does one avoid title once discovered to be bad

A

must do one of the following:
-communicate with the person

  • take all other possible steps to bring it to person B’s notice eg. letter, call
  • advise Police that it was gained by person B by deception
45
Q

when does title pass

A

Section 19 of the sale of goods act 1908 is relevant.it provides that, where there is a contract for the sale of specific goods between the parties, title passes when it was intended to pass by the parties.

46
Q

do thieves ever hold title?

A

no - a thief never obtains title to the goods he or she steals.

SO, there is usually little problem in giving stolen property back to the owner, even if a court order is not made

47
Q

two core elements of theft by person in a special relationship s220

A

(a) that he or she have received the property on terms or in circumstances which, to the defendants knowledge, affects what the defendant may do with the property
(b) That the defendant intentionally departed from the relevant obligation.

48
Q

two mental elements for s220 *****S.Answer

A

first, the defendant must know that the acquisition of the property was on terms or requirements which require the defendant to account for the property, or its proceeds, or to deal with the property or its proceeds in accordance with the direction of another person..

this requirement will be met if the defendant is aware there are terms of some kind affecting his or her freedom of action; it should not be necessary that the precise details of those obligations be known. Secondly, the defendant must have intentionally departed from his or her obligations: Adams on criminal law ref.

49

54
Q

forgery vs altering etc reproducing a document

A

the difference between the offences of forgery and altering or reproducing a document rest in the varying definitions of document and intent.

with forgery an intent to deceive only is required, not an intent to obtain by deception.

in the offence of altering, concealing, destroying, or reproducing a document, you must prove that the offender intends to obtain by deception.

Any document can be altered or reproduced in the charge of altering, concealing, destroying, or reproducing a document. however in the charge of forgery the document must be a ‘false document’ as defined in sec 255.

55
Q

mental element of using or reproducing document w intent to decieve (three parts)

A

firstly, the Defendant must know the relevant matters relating to the document in question - that is, that the document had been altered with intent to deceive.

secondly, the defendant must have intended by the employment of the document, or by causing another to use or rely on it, to obtain by deception any property, privilege, service, pecuniary adv, benefit, or valuable consideration, or to cause loss to any other person. It must be remembered that obtain here carries the extended meaning provided in s 217 so that an intention to retain such property will suffice.

Thirdly, there must be an intention to acquire or retain the property etc, or to cause loss, by ‘deception’. this key word is not defined for the purpose of this section, but assistance can be derived from the def in s240.
