I am trying to think this through in the abstract. The Minister has said he does not anticipate significant changes to the Criminal Justice (Theft and Fraud Offences) Act. Given that part of this will involve identification of criminal offences, how can that be the case? Can there be a situation where there is a conflict between two possible offences? Surely one offence cannot stand while the other exists, to borrow a phrase from Harry Potter.
