[2002] EWCA Crim 1279

In a case of false imprisonment where the accused claimed it had been reasonable to detain the victim to prevent a theft the judge had not erred in leaving to the jury the issue, for the purposes of s.3 Criminal Law Act 1967, of whether the crime was still being committed at the time of the false imprisonment.
