Robbery

• R v Robinson


  D had a genuine belief he had a right in law to the £5 so he was not dishonest
• R v Corcoran v Anerton


  D tried to snatch a handbag from V but it fell from D's hand so they left without it. A Robbery can occur without anything being taken
• R v Dawson and James


  Force is an ordinary word and it is for the jury to decide whether this is the case
• R v Clouden


  The force used on the bag was sufficient to amount to force on a person
• R v Hale


  A continuing act even though the force to tie up was separate from the theft
• R v DPP


  it was the intention of D rather than the fortitude of V that mattered
