R v Turner (1971)

Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006

Ths case ([1971] 2 All ER 441) demonstrates that it is possible to `appropriate' property that one already owns, and thereby be convicted of theft if the elements of the mens rea are present. Turner took his car to a garage for repairs, then took it away without paying. Since the appropriation was dishonest, and he did `intend to permanently deprive' the current possessor of the car, this meant that a conviction for theft was possible.
