Case law..
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 momentary.
