[2012] EWCA Crim 1850

A conviction for theft was safe where, on the evidence, it had not been necessary for the trial judge to give a full direction in relation to dishonesty. Unless the question of a subjective element was properly raised, it was not incumbent upon the judge to direct the jury as to the objective and subjective elements of the Ghosh test for dishonesty.
