Q

An imprisonable offence (burglary)

A

Normal meaning - any offence punishable by a term of imprisonment

A

The word ‘having’ changes the entry element from 231(1)(a) as the accused must have already entered the building or ship before formulating the required intent to commit a crime

23
Q

Remaining

A

The term “remaining” suggests this form of the offence may be committed in two ways

Q

Uses (Burglary)

A

A weapon may be “used” where words or conduct show the defendant has actual possession of a weapon or it is immediately available

Under this provision the item is not necessarily one that is made to inflict bodily injury it is any item capable of inflicting bodily injury so long as the person using it intends it to be used for such purpose

30
Q

Present (burglary)

A

the accused must still be present on the building or ship. In this sense the finding of the accused on the premises is an essential part of the offence.

R V Collins

A

Mental Element
There cannot be a conviction for entering a premises ‘as a trespasser’ unless the person entering does so knowing he is a trespasser and deliberately enters or is reckless whether or not he is entering the premises of another without the other parties consent

36
Q

Police V Pittman

A

The word ‘weapon’ carries the meaning of something used to inflict bodily injury….also any other item which the accused intended to use to inflict harm should the need arise… Bodily injury need not be limited to direct physical injury and can include bodily harm arising as a result of shock produced by the weapon

37
