Explain the law on making off without payment.

Making off without payment is defined under S.3 Theft Act 1978. A person may be found guilty of the offence if they dishonestly make off from the spot where payment is required or expected for goods supplied or services done with intent to avoid payment of the full amount. When applying to scenario questions remember to add all appropriate cases and subsections to further enhance your answer. For example, the case of Allen states that there must be intent to avoid payment in full and permanently.
