I know the test for Dishonesty originated from R v Ivey but in a scenario question would I only need to reference R v Barton and Booth as this is the case which made the test binding in criminal law?
Baron was COA, and Ivey was SC. Baron confirmed that the test for dishonesty in English criminal law is the test described by the Supreme Court in Ivey v Genting Casinos (UK). The test described in R v Ghosh (1982) does not apply [Barton paragraphs 1 and 105].
When going other sections I see you're somewhat brief, in the exam would you be expected to go through the relevant statute in its entirety? For example, s4(3) in regard to what can't amount as property, if you mentioned wild creatures but didn't mention that in order for an animal to constitute a wild creature it must not ordinarily be kept in captivity would you lose marks? In summary, I'm trying to make sure I have enough detail in my notes so that I can answer these questions and have the knowledge needed to get into the top bands without going into so much depth that I'm just wasting my time.
There are a lot of sections in this Act, so you’ll need to be a bit selective. I would keep it brief on a section, only going into detail when that section is particularly relevant to your essay or scenario.

Many thanks The Law Teacher! Dishonesty, R v Baron & Booth, which is the criminal law version of Ivey v Genting Casinos?

@@thelawteacher5724 Great thank you, I know theft is quite statute heavy but this makes me feel a bit more confident.
