Abstract
The paper reviewed the defence of Bona Fide Claim of Right under section 23 of the Criminal Code. The paper identified some problems which have arisen in the interpretation and application of the provisions in some decided cases. The paper recommends an amendment to section 23 that incorporates references to other applicable provisions of the Code and places additional limitations on the exercise of the defence of claim of right.
