  • Robbery S8(1)
    • Actus Reus
      • Completed theft is required, as stated in R v Robinson

        • Property S4
        • Belonging to another S6
      • Robbery Elements
        • Force or threat of Force
          • Slightest of touches are sufficient
            • Dawson and James
            • Clouden
          • Difficult to say there's been force use on a person if there is no contact
            • P v DPP
          • V need not be put in a state of fear. It is sufficient for D to attempt to put D in this state
            • B and R v DPP
            • Hypothetically, if the D waves the a knife at a blind person, then this may well be sufficient under this definition
        • Force at the time or immediately before the theft
          • Theft is a continuing act
            • There are limits on this. Eveleigh LJ says they are a "matter of common sense"
              • Hale
