fraud by misrepresentation using supermarket voucher.
Just wanted to have some views on this.
My friend was attested for fraud by misrepresentation for using a supermarket coupon more then once. Most of the vouchers are unique but 2 of them was the same coupon but in 2 separate transactions. The voucher states that you can only use the voucher once. You have to visit the supermarket website to print it out, however you can more then 1 of them. The supermarket staff does not ask for the reciept at the time so that you could use the voucher again and again. etc.
A couple of months before this he was stoped and the police was called to the supermarket and the polcie told him that he had found a loophole but should give it arest for the day. He was allowed to leave without arrest. In further contact with the police about that time the officers are saying that the store didnt offer anything to the police for arrest.
The voucher states that you need to bring the reciept with you but he left it in the car but the supermarket would not allow him to go and fetch it and in all the time with the police he was not asked to provide them. I guess using the voucher more then once in the same supermarket but in 2 transaction would mean that it does not matter.
My question is that if you break a terms and condition that is misredemption which in the UK is not illegal.
To bring you upto date. He was charged with it. When to Court and asked for this to be heard in a crown court and pled not guilty.
A couple of more questions would be that if you print a voucher on the net and then printed the same one again is that the same voucher? If you bought a mars bar in the store, does that mean your allowed to take them all? The are the same. a copy.. If you get my point.
