    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC296/2000

    Presentation of the cheques which caused a diminution of the companies bank credit constituted an appropriation of choses in action and, given the finding of dishonesty, amounted to theft; Preddy was inapplicable; alleged forgery did not prevent appropriation; the evidence permitted reasonable inference of overdraft/arrangements for charges 2 and 9, so choses in action existed; therefore leave to appeal was dismissed and convictions upheld.
