Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
Shop in Prestrow Airport where she was an employee. She is also accused of changing currency in conditions which breach Airport Workers (Fictitious) Regulations, 1995. To need is to consider
the best course of action for Winona, if this is to plead guilty to the exchange rate offence in order to have the theft charge dropped, or if this would
be best taken to court. The main element in this is a consideration of the evidence that can be used by both the prosecution and the defence. The first
aspect that needs to be considers is the way in which the burden of proof lies with the prosecution. There are two issues that need to be proven here. The
first is to prove that the theft took place and that Winona Driver took the money from the till. The second offence is less clear, it is apparent that money
was exchanged, however, this time there is a different approach, as the issue is not wither or not the event took place, but the circumstances, with the need to prove
that this was undertaken without the gaining of the required permission. It is worth noting in the English case of Sliney v Havering. [2002] EWCA 2558 where there was a
breach of trademark, but it was not an offence if the did not believe the goods to be counterfeit (Lectures 1 and 2 p3). Therefore, in this case it may
be argued that the defence for exchanging the currency is the belief that she had permission to do so. In looking at the evidence this appears to be very
