Q

Define Theft in relation to robbery

and

relevant case law

A

Theft:

Sec.219(1) , Crime Act 1961

  • Dishonestly
  • and without claim of right,
  • taking any property with intent to deprive any owner permanently of that property
  • or of any interest in that property.

R v Skivington

“Larceny [or theft] is an ingredient of robbery, and if the honest belief that a man has a claim of right is a defence to larceny, then it negatives one of the ingredients in the offence of robbery, without proof of which the full offence is not made out.”

R v Lapier

Robbery is complete the instant the property is taken, even if possession by the thief is only momentarily

Q

Define and explain possession in relation to theft in robbery

A

Possession may be actual or constructive

Actual Possession:

Actual possession arises where the thing in question is in a person’s physical custody; it is on or about their person, or immediately at hand.

Ideal Possession: (Actual)

Warner v Metropolitan Police Commissioner

The term “possession” must be given a sensible and reasonable meaning in its context. Ideally, a possessor of a thing has:

  • Complete physical control over it

Constructive possession

arises when something is not in a person’s physical custody, but they have ready access to it or can exercise control over it.

R v Maihi

It is implicit in ‘accompany’ that there must be a nexus (connection or link) between the act of stealing … and a threat of violence. Both must be present.” However the term “does not require that the act of stealing and the threat of violence be contemporaneous …”

18
Q

Define Violence and case law in relation to Robbery 234(1)

A

Q

Define threats of violence and case law in relation to Robbery 234(1)

R v Broughton [1986] 1 NZLR 641
