"(7) A reference in this Schedule to a "band" is to the band of the offence concerned set out in Table B in the AGFS Banding Document, as read in conjunction with Table A in that document.
[Diagram or picture not reproduced in HTML version - see original .rtf file to view diagram or picture](8) Where the band within which an offence described in Table B in the AGFS Banding Document falls depends on the facts of the case, the band within which the offence falls is to be determined by reference to Table A in that document."
"(1) For the purposes of this Schedule—
(a) every indictable offence falls within the band of that offence set out in the AGFS Banding Document…
(b) conspiracy to commit an indictable offence contrary to section 1 of the Criminal Law Act 1977 (the offence of conspiracy), incitement to commit an indictable offence and attempts to commit an indictable offence contrary to section 1 of the Criminal Attempts Act 1981 (attempting to commit an offence) fall within the same band as the substantive offence to which they relate…"
"The bands are set out in Table B of this document, which should be read in conjunction with Table A. Where the band within which an offence described in Table B in this document falls depends on the facts of the case, the band within which the offence falls is to be determined by reference to Table A."
"Band 11.1: Aggravated burglary, burglary with intent to GBH or rape, and armed robbery.
Band 11.2: Indictable only burglary; other robberies."
"A person is guilty of robbery if he steals, and immediately before or at the time of doing so, and in order to do so, he uses force on any person or puts or seeks to put any person in fear of being then and there subjected to force."
"An offence under section 8(1) of the Theft Act 1968… where the use or threat of force involves a firearm, an imitation firearm or an offensive weapon…
'offensive weapon' means any weapon to which section 141 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (c. 33) (offensive weapons) applies."
The Offences
The Determining Officer's Findings and The Appellant's Case
"… those made for use for causing injury to the person, i.e. offensive per se; those adapted for such a purpose; and those not so made or adapted, but carried with the intention of causing injury to the person."
"A robbery where the defendant or co-defendant to the offence was in possession of an offensive weapon, namely a weapon that had been made or adapted for use for causing injury to or incapacitating a person or intended by the person having it with him for such use, should also be classified as an armed robbery. However, where the defendant, or co-defendant, only intimate that they are so armed, the case should not be classified as an armed robbery."
