Robinson- There must be a completed theft for a robbery to have been committed
Corcoran v Anderton- Where force is used to steal, the moment the theft is complete there is a robbery
Force or threat of force:
Dawson and James- Force is needed for there to be a robbery, but the amount only has to be small
Clouden- This includes wrenching a bag from V's hand
B and R v DPP- V does not have to be afraid
The force does not have to be on the person from whom the theft occurs
Hale- For robbery, theft has been held to be a continuing act
Lockley- Using force to escape can still be at the time if the theft
