Common law (case law) is law established through the court’s interpretation of legislation, application of previous decisions, etc.
Robbery also includes the offence of sacrilege and housebreaking offences. Both offences have multiple categories and serious offences.

In a nutshell...
Robbery offences can be complex and involve legal jargon. It is important you receive expert legal advice. Contact our office for a free initial consultation.
What needs to be proven?
The prosecution must prove the elements of the offence beyond a reasonable doubt. The elements of the offence have been set out below. The courts also look to the mind of a reasonable person in the circumstances. The reasonable person is a hypothetical person who exercises average care, skill and judgment in their conduct. When determining the mind of a reasonable person, self-induced intoxication won’t be taken into consideration. The common law has established that when you commit the act, you also need to have intent. Intent is proven if: You know the circumstances which make the doing of the act an offence, or You do not believe honestly and reasonably that the circumstances you are innocent. In other words, the prosecution must prove that you committed the act alleged and that you intended to commit the act, knowing that it was unlawful. If you plead guilty at the earliest possible opportunity, you may be entitled to a 25% reduction in your sentence. However, you should not plead guilty until you have obtained legal advice.In a nutshell...
The prosecution must prove the elements of the offence beyond a reasonable doubt. The courts look to what a reasonable person would do in the circumstances. Speak to one of our expert criminal lawyers for advice specific to your matter.

Sentencing options available in the Local Court:
These sentencing options are only available for the offence of robbery or stealing from the person. All other robbery offences are dealt with by indictment are heard in the District Court or Supreme Court depending on additional charges, seriousness, etc.
Section 10:
A section 10 is the best possible outcome in the event the court finds you guilty of a robbery offence. There are three orders available to the court under section 10 of the Crimes (Sentencing and Procedure) Act where the court believes it is inappropriate to further punish an offender.
Section 10 (1) (a)- dismissal with no conviction recorded
Section 10 (1) (b)- dismissal with no conviction on conditions set by the court. For example, not to commit an offence for a period of two years
Section 10 (1) (c)- dismissal with no conviction on the condition that the offender enters into an intervention program. For example drug and alcohol counselling.
A section 10 is an acknowledgement of the court that you have committed an offence, however, the court is satisfied that it is out of character and you are unlikely to continue offending. It’s the court’s way of giving you a second chance.
Before granting a section 10, the court will consider:
Your criminal record.
Your character, antecedents, age, heath and mental condition, etc
The trivial nature of the offence
Extenuating circumstances that lead to the offence being committed
Any other matter the court considers relevant
Intensive Correction Order:
Intensive Corrections Orders are an option available to the court where a sentence of imprisonment is imposed on the condition that a defendant is of good behaviour and agrees to supervision by a community corrections officer rather than go to prison.

electronic monitoring
curfew
community service (up to 750 hours)
participation in rehabilitation or treatment programs, for example drug treatment/counselling
no drugs or alcohol
refrain from certain relationships/associations, for example drug dealer, etc.
ban from certain locations
Community Correction Order:
Community Corrections Orders are similar to Intensive Corrections Orders. The main exception being that a defendant needs to make themselves available to attend court at any time the court requires.
Conditional Release Order:
A Conditional Release Order is similar to an Intensive Corrections Order or Community Corrections Order. A Conditional Release Order can be issued with or without a conviction recorded.
Section 32:

cognitively impaired
suffering from mental illness
suffering from a mental condition for which treatment is available in a mental health facility
The options available to a magistrate under a section 32 include:
