[2010] EWHC 1822 (Admin)

The court indicated, obiter dictum, that for conduct by an individual to constitute an attempt to commit an offence under the Criminal Attempts Act 1981, and not an act that was merely preparatory to the commission of an offence, the conduct by the individual had to be sufficiently close to the final act that it could, on the application of common sense, be properly regarded as part of the execution of the individual's plan to commit the intended offence.
