Davidge v Bunnett [1984] Crim LR 297 FACTS: The defendant shared a flat with others. They all shared the costs of bills. On receipt of a gas bill for the sum of £159.75, the defendant was given cheques to the value of £109.75 towards the cost of the bill to which she was expected to add the outstanding £50.00. The defendant cashed the cheques and spent the money on Christmas presents. She was convicted of theft. The Queens Bench Division held that she was under a legal obligation to apply the proceeds of the cheques to the payment of the gas bill. HELD: The defendant's conviction for theft was upheld. This case confirms that obligations can be imposed upon domestic/social arrangements.
