The court held that the appellant's overt conduct (striking the bonnet, moving around the vehicle and preventing its departure) provided sufficient evidence from which a reasonable Magistrate could infer intent to commit criminal damage and that amendment of the charge to attempted criminal damage and conviction were lawful; credibility assessments and partial acceptance of PW1's evidence were within the Magistrate's discretion and there was no unfairness.
