FactsA woman purchased a video cassette recorder (VCR) on the belief that it was stolen. She reported an unrelated burglary in her house to the police. While they were investigating the burglary, she confessed to having purchased the VCR she believed to be stolen. No evidence was found to confirm that the VCR had been stolen. She was convicted of attempted handling of stolen goods.[1] JudgmentThe House of Lords decided that impossibility was not covered by s1(2) of the Criminal Attempts Act. SignificanceThe case R v Shivpuri reversed the decision only a year later and represents an example of the House of Lords reversing itself[2] under the Practice Statement 1966. See also
