- High Court
The Judge’s findings that the appellant knew the phone was not hers, acted dishonestly in retaining or dealing with it, and intended to permanently deprive the owner were supported by the evidence (smartphone v push‑button phone, statements about giving it to her son, U‑turn and failure to return) and therefore the conviction under s219(1)(b) was sound and the appeal must be dismissed.
